Caspian Gull at Didcot 17th Jan
There were reasonable numbers of gulls in the Didcot area today, the first time for about a month. Amongst them was this rather dark but striking 1st winter Caspian Gull. A new individual for this winter period, it was in a field on the north side of the Didcot north ring road. It was also seen the newly ploughed field south-east of Appleford.
