CASPO AGAIN

The two 1w Caspos, which were first seen on Tuesday  http://surreybirding.blogspot.com/2012/01/brace-of-caspos.html, put in an appearance again today. I was able to get better pics of the darker bird yesterday and I managed to digiscope the paler bird today.

This bird has more washed out coverts than some and paler, browner, tertial centres

Note the usual head and bill shape, the whiter head and contrasting neck 'shawl'. Although the coverts are somewhat washed out, there is still some contrast with the greyer mantle and scapulars

The solid centres to the coverts and tertials can be seen here
