A return during lunchtime today eventually turned up possibly the same bird out on the water....
A brief flight onto the ice thankfully allowed a glimpse of the primary tip pattern - almost identical to the earlier Stubbers Green bird see in November
On the ice, sadly with other Gulls obscuring a clear view but enough of the typical features visible to clinch Caspian Gull.
A Pink-footed Goose by the Severn at Leighton added another year tick to bring, without too much fuss, a final County year tally of 169. Quite happy with this, considering I've concentrated most of my efforts elsewhere this year!
