Mystery bird photo:
We had a thunderous response to yesterday's 'Pipit species' posting, mostly from a Mrs Trellis in North Wales but we are sorry to say that she didn't have a clue.

The winning entry came from a club member who wishes to remain anonymous but we can tell you that our records show that he has seen every Franklin's Gull that has occurred in Avon over the past 27 years.

So, a days' free bird-watching at Portbury Wharf to him and a chance to ratchet up the life list....
