Farmoor F2 basin 5.15 - 7.00pm

Med Gull 1 adult (Nick Hallam & Dai)
Little Gull 2 adult keeping to south and 2 adult keeping to west (all non-hooded)
Sand Martin 1
Wheatear 1 male SW corner
Rock Pipit 2 (Dai). The 1 bird I checked was littoralis; again at south end
Herring Gull(?) 1 in first winter plumage but with all white primaries on left wing and at least some white on right primaries, but complete view of right wing in flight not possible and the bird would not show that side in roost. Bill completely dark. I am fairly sure this is the first partial albino I have seen in over 35 years of scanning. Remainder of plumage appeared dark/standard, so no chance of thinking this is a white-winged gull.

Black Redstart still reported this morning
Scaup (Badger)
