On my third attempt I finally managed to see a BROWN SHRIKE after dipping twice before in Yorkshire & Cornwall ! the bird showed very well on Staines Moor in Surrey but was quite a long way off for good shots of it but I was still glad to get what I could , also seen were 7 ROSE-RINGED PARAKEET some in trees & others flying over .
We then went for an Azorian Gull in Oxfordshire & on the way there we saw a RED KITE close to the M4 near Reading , on arriving at the rubbish tip near Didcot we found out that the Azorian Gull had flown off but we did see a very nice adult CASPIAN GULL , an adult YELLOW-LEGGED GULL & flying around us were quite a few more RED KITE !!
