Whistlin' in the rain

There's this thing about the rain. It makes me whistle, when I walk in it. Only in town, mind. It cheers me up for some reason.

Random sharing over.

Had stuff to do in Iscara today, but couldn't resist a quick look at Bowling Green on the way. Lots of Whimbrel about, and still the sunny side of 400 Blackwits. I counted 7 Barwits among them, and there was a single Lapwing [hopefully not a failed breeder]. Heard a report of a Little Gull hanging about the estuary, but I didn't see it myself. Most interesting bird was a 2cy Lesser Black-backed Gull with a colour ring - left leg, white 'YL39' on blue, right leg a metal ring. It'll be interesting to see where it's come from!
