Pheasant & Caspian Gull - MVCP

The Caspian Gull was in the Stewartby gull roost this evening along with an adult Yellow-legged Gull and a possible adult Caspian Gull - all found by Keith Owen. I thought I'd include the Pheasant photo just to show that I can (sometimes) get reasonable photos of birds when they are not about 400 yards away... And for those of you who are even less well versed in the niceties of gull identification - the Caspian Gull - is in the top photo.. :-) Photos by Martin Green

Black Redstart

Some wonderful shots by Simon Hill of one of two Black Redstarts seen near Upper Shelton on Saturday 7th November 2009. The other (a male) was more elusive and wouldn't pose for a photo, according to Simon.
