These photos were taken at #uptonwarren (Moors) on 16 April. I think this is a Caspian Gull, but would welcome confirmation or suggestions as to what it might be. Many thanks #WorcsBirds

A female Redstart along the West track at #uptonwarren Moors Pool this morning was a year tick for me. 2 Grasshopper Warbler were still reeling along there - one in front of the Jacobs hide. A Common Tern was seen briefly from the Jacobs hide. No sign of the Pied Fly at the Sailing Pool. #WorcsBirds
