Hi all,
Difficult to get more birds with howling winds between 11am-1pm. The winds was not too bad earlier which we had good # of birds at the treatment plant and at the oxygen pond. We also covers diamond point rd flats but lack of birds and mudflats was frozen, old road bay only have gulls and at herring run park which we only have vulture and gulls and decided to head home early.
