Many thanks John, I'll let you know when I am planning to come down, will probably wait for a northernly airstream. Hope the gulls aren't too far away as my scope isn't all that powerful! Does and easterly wind push the birds closer?
Its very hit and miss to how close the birds come. As they roost heading into the wind just a small change in direction can make viewing difficult. A northerly wind is good as then you can view from the Inlet where the light is usually excellent and the whole of the reservoir can be seen. How late the sailing boats stay out will also push them further to one bank or the other too.
Regards
John
