Quick mid-week visit to Docks on my usual round-town bike ride saw an Increase in the number of Common terns back on site, there was around c35 individuals on site (Great views of the terns at the minute however i am still using my compact camera therefore cannot achieve pictures good enough to really show just how good a view you can get on site).
A couple of Great crested grebes were displaying as well which was nice and a Common sandpiper was on the jetty too.
A day later an Adult Gannet appeared on site, presumeably blown in by the strong winds, however it was apparently showing signs of illness. Myself and my dad went to visit the Docks to see the Bird via the Shops and sure enough it was still there however just resting on the jetty doing nothing, very un-Gannet like. A day later it was reported dead. I did not manage any pictures unfortunately.
