 First-winter Dartford Warbler

Short-eared Owl

 First-winter Caspian Gull

'Caspian Gull'- picked this bird up on call but only managed this and a couple of other shots- contrasting white head, small mirror on p10, pale underwing, dark greater coverts- all look pretty good

Spent a few sessions at the farmlands this week- its been pretty good while I was away. We've got a Dartford Warbler, two Short-eared Owls, up to three Cetti's Warblers and one or two Caspian Gulls hanging around. Had a Rock Pipit go over on Tuesday- which puts the year list on 160 (the record is 164) so shaping into a good local year. Been a Yellowhammer around too.
