The 1st summer Little Gull was still present today, along with 7-10 Bonaparte's Gull. There was no sign of any Arctic Terns on either of my two visits today, but 7 White-winged Scoter were present in the evening, and there were large numbers of Ring-billed Gulls hawking the emerging May Flies. The rapids are best viewed from the Britannia Filtration Plant, for directions see:
