CASPIAN GULL, 1st & 2nd winter at Dungeness, 27/9/2015

By the Fishing Boats, 14.00 hours - 15.30 hours

M.S. R.B. & myself. (DW at the puddles)
NE wind, strong, very little to point the camera at !


Lesser Black-backed Gull, 1st cycle





15.30 hours, we returned to the car, at the puddles.
all a bit boring until 17.00 hours !

RB picks out this Caspian Gull, 2nd winter

Only a brief few minutes appearance and away !

Immediately following the 2nd winter departure, I hear Mick say ''there is another Caspian'' !



A 1st winter Caspian flew in and ''most obligingly'' it stayed until the light faded at 18.00 hours.
