Common Sandpiper, 5 Dunlin, Lesser Black-backed Gulls

Weather was pretty bad today - blustery showers and quite cold.  Simon had 2 probable Arctic Terns through early on, but I went later (c. 9:30) and there was no sign.  Sat in the hide for quite a while, but not much to report. At least 5 Dunlin were still present, and a couple of Common Sandpipers mooched around on the reserve.  Some Lesser Black-backs were very vocal quite close to the hide, having a go at a juvenile, which was quite entertaining.  Walked down to Shaw Moss but didn't get anything but wet through.
