ad w/p. The first bird in was the new bird, suspected by Rob on Thursday picked up flying in at about 1.45pm, the second bird then found in the roost at about 2.30pm; in the same scope view at one point; the new bird is a bit slighter, the black wing point with three small white tips visible beyond the tertial crescent, so lacking the larger primary tip 'crescent' of the usual bird; the head streaking is finer and forms a more distinct hood, the tertial crescent is even more restricted; bad photos later.
