Marina and Albert Edward Dock
15:00 Sun 4 o C. Wind NE 9mph. Humidity 49%. Pressure 1022mB. Visibility very good. High tide today 09:50, 8.19m
Bright, feeling very cold in the wind.
There are 100+ gulls in the dock today, mainly Blackheaded with some Blackbacked. I often think there may be an occasional rarity, anonymous amongst the crowd.
There are also around 15 cormorants, 10 coots and 50 mallard ducks.
Both swans were in the lock, close to the bridge, and took to the air as I was walking down. It's amazing to see swans flying past at eye level, and to hear the beating of their wings. They circled over the Albert Edward dock and came down in the dock basin.
Great crested grebe are occasional visitors to the dock, I haven't spotted any for a while.

Dock gates closed
A lovely afternoon, after a grey start. Ribble Steam are holding a gala weekend and have attracted quite a few visitors and photographers.
