Herring Gull, new for the year in Cholsey

A brief visit to Lollingdon Hill around midday proved negative for migrants, only Rooks, Jackdaws, a couple of Carrion Crows and 2 Magpies.

However a lot of Gulls following a plough close to Cholsey Downs, on taking a closer look I found at least 4 Herring Gulls with a flock of c200 Lesser Blackback Gulls.

This takes the species year list to 120 for 2011.
