Leucistic B.H.Gull


This bird was on the River Plym on 29/1/11.
It looks very much like the bird that Matt has posted from The Otter.

I was in the Burrator area today, hoping for Crossbills in the usual plantation. Not only were there no Crossbills, there was no plantation!! It's been cleared.

Half a dozen Brambling were seen though including a summer plumaged male.
Other birds seen inclulded six Siskins, twenty odd Fieldfare and a Woodcock.
