an interesting note on garner's blog about chiffchaffs. if abietinus migrate southeast away from the uk, as do fuscus, birds we see are either collybita or tristis.

the caspian gull at newhaven west beach early last month was seen again at rye on 23rd. it was ringed on the southern border of poland.

saw this at the ouse project on 23rd - head/bill like female caspo but otherwise yellow-legged gull
