I've encountered these species in the course of my atlasing, although most of them nest in rookeries elsewhere. All of the waterbirds have been more prevalent of late - post-breeding dispersal and getting ready to migrate, presumably. Next year's atlas forays are obviously going to have to be water-borne!
