}Good looks yesterday at 1530h and in better light today at 1215h.
Displaying prominent rectangular white wing patches, today head
iridescently purplish. Irregular face patch not consistent with
Common and not the crescent shape of a Barrow's.
First seen yesterday and relocated today on the same stretch of the
Thames in Springbank Park, London. Easiest access is the east
entrance of the park; use path beside the wooden steps from the
parking lot (the steps themselves are treacherous right now.) He
seems to be frequenting the stretch of the river along the Maurice
Chapman Walkway between the 2 gnarly willows.
Posted since I'm told by the expert reviews of my photos that a
Barrow's has never been reported in Middlesex County and very few if
any reports of a hybrid.
Good birding
