February 20th
As the weather forecast here was for rain and drizzle all day we had an early start and travelled via Eurotunnel to Vlissingen in the Netherlands, where the forecast was for a reasonable day, in order to see the wintering first winter Ross's Gull. We were successful and got some good if a little distant views for about half an hour. We also saw a good range of wildfowl including 1,200 Barnacle Geese and 400 White-fronted Geese.
