There was an excellent variety of ducks and gulls today. Most moved between 7:30 and 8:30. A little after 8:30 the wind switched and things slowed down a bit. There was also a brief period of light fog. Best birds were Iceland and lesser black-backed gulls. Forty-one ring-necked ducks were an excellent total for here.
