Juvenile Gannets and more..

After yesterdays dire birding on the coast we concentrated nearer to home again today and with easterly winds we headed back to the Humber Bridge to see what if anything would get pushed up the Humber - we weren't to be disappointed with the following seen - 2 Sandwich Terns, 1 Arctic Tern, 1 Arctic Skua, 1 probable Long Tailed Skua, 5 Common Scoter, 265 Wigeon, 350 Teal, 1 Pintail, 3 Goldeneye, 5 Tufted Duck, 1 Pochard, 2 G C Grebes, 1 Rock Pipit and 12 juvenile Gannets. Now I would like to say the picture below was one of our Gannets but who would I be kidding! full story of this photo here http://theshadoxhurstgarden.blogspot.co.uk/ .   It seems juvenile Gannets are a little confused at the moment with a few inland records over the past week and of course our 53 on the Humber last weekend (see earlier post).  With overnight rain and easterly gales predicted, tomorrow should be another cracking day on the Humber with surely more juvenile Gannets sent of course - time will tell.
