Christine recommends talking to friend Twit re the learned aversion and that i should question the learned aversion.

Cloudy. Only coots by the back water feature. My vague memory was that there were gulls as well neat the water feature during the last storm.
Hmm, if i word mined this entry based on the #perpetual calendar tag, would i think gulls were present.
As i left, i saw a flock of male and female hooded mergansers (Tribe Mergini, Lophodytes cucullatus). In the dim light, my phone did not get a particularly good image, but it's good enough to note crests on the males raised and lowered. I am embarrassed that all that registered for me was the big white patch so i thought "buffleheads!" without reflecting that they were fairly large ducks and had the longer bodies of a merganser.
Mergansers are dramatic birds, i think.

Packing. I hate all my clothes. I feel exhausted, but i need to get the minimal kit together. I am being picked up by a friend at 4:50 am tomorrow. Oy.
