A night of strong northerlies knocked over one of our bins, and the morning dawned distinctly snowy. I felt I really should be out birding, and by late morning decided to head for the nearest body of water to see if anything had turned up.
Rather tamely the water in question is Arrow Valley Lake, and although it can produce the goods, usually it doesn't.
This morning I diligently sifted through 123 Black-headed Gulls to no avail, but did at least see some of the Arrow Valley specialities. These were three Little Egrets and a drake Goosander.

So no storm blown waifs, but there was a Kittiwake just north of the Circle at Bittell Reservoir/Cofton Reservoir, so it was a viable plan.
