WILLOW THE WISP

Following the sighting of Willow Tit by Donkey Green at Box Hill at the end of last week, I went over this morning to have a look. Marsh Tits were easy to find but, alas, no sight or sound of a Willow in the three hours I was there.

I was wondering how much longer to give it when the Monk phoned to tell me that the Kumlien's type Gull was showing again at Beddington. I needed no further excuse and returned to base. Unfortunately the bird had disappeared onto the tip and, despite searching, we could not re-locate it. I'd like to get more pics of this interesting bird.
