Passing Wanstead Flats this morning I glanced out of the car window. JEEEEEZUS!!! A smallish bright white gull.....luckily a proper look through bins revealed it to be a partially leucistic Black-headed Gull, but for a moment the heart was racing. It's incredibly bright white, and shines out like a, dunno. It just shines out, but unfortunately is gank and not mega. I returned home to get a camera, just in case Ross's Gull is claimed in the next few days... It's probably too white to be Ross's Gull, but it's still a bit of an eye-opener. In other news, I've seen a Chaffinch. I didn't mean to, but I'm just that talented.
