Should have had Wood Sand, but lacked the conviction to call a 2nd bird at Peacock's (even though I got a pic of 2 birds flying!) so decided that I didn't deserve to count it. Ended up with a bad case of "scope eye" searching every pigging group of BH Gulls for a Med Gull without success, and didn't even see one at all in 2015. Nightjar was probably my favourite hit and I'll be back this year to see if it was a "one off" occurrence.
