Stormy weather stops play

A lunchtime dash around the car park, was met with strong winds and gusts, raining and getter heavier. Flood levels dropped to allow passing in wellies. 300+ Lapwing on and over the landfill, 500+ BH Gulls, 300+ Starlings, a few Herring and then a lone Great Black-backed Gull over.
Still handfulls of Redwing in the car park field Blackthorns, not much to hear above the noise of the wind in the trees. Probably 70-80+ Pochard on Sandford, but left as weather got worse.
The trip to the car park at dusk was pretty grey and rainy, a few Redwing were heading into Lavell's, probably no more than 30. Interesting sharp thrush notes in roost pressumably the Redwing.
2 Goldcrest went by, but nothing more. A tiny break in the cloud made my pic look much brighter than it really was.
