I didn't even see this thread until just now - only left the computer for ¾ hour!

For once for my answers (above), I deliberately didn't look at any of the other posts - whizzed the scrollbar quickly so I couldn't see them

I'll give that to CJW, though the gull is a Med...well I assume its a Med, I was looking at the Whiskered Tern, in the Coto Donana.

and yes its the Quendale Pallas' Sandgrouse...


The Sandplover was the Walney one. When I went to see it its ID was contentions, its looks as Greater as you could possible be now.


Another one tonight?

Round 2 on its way
