The miracle of Blipfoto

How often does it happen that you go out looking for a blip and there is nothing. Can I really blip some Christmas lights?
So you set off for home somewhat dejected.

Then a last look over the Promenade wall at the usual gulls.

But wait. We don’t often see one of those.

A female Goosander I think. If not my friends will soon put me right.

Saved again. Does this ever happen to you?
