4th December: Appleford Glaucous Gull

Jason Coppock has texted to say that there's a Glaucous gull (prob. 2nd winter) currently on the Spit Pit at Appleford.

NB the level crossing is currently out of action so you need to approach from the Didcot end

The bird flew off from the pit shortly after 1pm though may well still be loitering in the Appleford area and could well return to the pit. (Gnome)

2 Caspian Gulls also present this afternoon (2nd w and the possible female, adult)

(Badger)

It roosted this evening at Farmoor (see Farmoor Birding blog)
