Frosty start, 2-5 degrees with 8/8 and a light southerly. Rain from 14.30hrs.
ICE: WRes. 50%, ACP 80%, CHRes 95%.
Wintersett Res: A Skylark flew over. (new bird for year). Cetti's Warbler 1 north bank, Water Rail 1, Shoveler 2 + 1 ACP, Mallard 72, Great Crested Grebe 23 + 17 ACP and Pochard 154 + 30 ACP.

Both Gull Roosts were checked. Plenty of birds came in to both waters, but many were difficult to view because they were packed together, standing on the ice. Rain, bad light and birds arriving later didn't help either. However , three notables were seen on Anglers. the 2nd W Iceland Gull flew in at 15.25hrs, The dark, juvenile Glaucous Gull was in at 15.55hrs and the juvenile Kumlien's Gull was picked up at 16.40hrs. No Caspian Gulls were seen tonight.
