Dear Santa
What avian delight would be most welcome in the local stocking this year or in January to start 2012 off with a big bang. ( not down the chimney as the RSPCA would object) ?
Ross's Gull would be nice addition to my Glamorgan Gull list! Somewhat surprised we have yet to nail a showy Caspian Gull somewhere, considering birds in Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Shropshire this winter. Given Isabelline Wheatear and Bobolink in recent years maybe we ought to start thinking a big bigger. A bird that seems to have been increasing in recent years will do me. Red-flanked Bluetail.

The hard part is already done!!
You're right Alex, think bigger...I'd like a gull species too...now which one?
Yes. Caspian Gull is becoming a bit of a pain. Next biggie however is likely to be something totally unexpected.
