| Sensational belated news concerned a third-winter Glaucous-winged Gull present at Hempsted, Gloucestershire on both the 15th and 16th December. Initially photographed on a landfill site and then, remarkably, trapped there in a cannon net during routine gull ringing activities the following day. Unfortunately the news was not released until today but although the bird has been looked for since it seems quite likely that it may still be present in the general vicinity. This is first British and second or third Western Palearctic record of this species. The juvenile Ivory Gull in Ayrshire was again relocated inland near Irvine but unfortunately appeared in ill health and was taken into care. Elsewhere the Black-eared Kite continued to roam Norfolk (today revisiting Snettisham), the Ross’s Gull remained in Argyll as did the Penduline Tit in London, the Bonaparte’s Gull in Angus and the Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall. |
