Caspian Gull

Raining, so didn’t fancy Fowlmere, and with a dull football match on, I decided to head to Amwell to see if I could catch up on the Caspian Gull and Bittern that have been there for a while.

By the time I arrived the light rain had turned in to a torrential downpour. It was also very cold! Got the Caspian Gull easily and so walked around to the main hide to see if I could see the Bittern and shelter from the rain.

The rain turned to sleet, and when the sleet started turning to heavy snow a bit before dusk, I decided to head off home. My hands were freezing and I didn’t fancy a slow journey home if the snow settled, so missed out on the Bittern.
