The chequer pattern on the upper parts still evident. so an adult stil retaining some adult feathers, moulting into winter pumage.Cuba
A couple of excellent photos from Rick Andrews (aka the Chew Valley wurzel) of Blue-headed Quail Dove and Bee Humming-bird both Cuban emdemics from the CBC trip to Cuba earlier this year. Rick will upload all his shots from Cuba onto his Flickr site in the near future.

Black-headed Gull today Cosmeston.
LBB Gull today Cosmeston.
Same bird July 2007 Cosmeston. Glamorgan is one of better counties for Gulls so a few things to look out for this winter. Black-tailed Gull & Slaty-backed Gull - both predicted as additions to the British list. Ok a tad optimistic but we've already had near misses with Glaucous-winged Gull and Yellow-nosed Albatross..........

Perhaps more realistically a photographed Caspian Gull. There have been several good shouts in recent years but it's going to take a photo to get it onto the Glamorgan list.
