Dungeness, ''by the puddles'', 12.00 hours to 15.00 hours, 13/12/2015
all very quiet with lots of Herring Gulls and probably 20+ GBBG's !
13.30 hours ! A Caspian Gull came into the puddle,
we heard it calling as it flew in, very distinctive above all the other Gull sounds !
Mick called Caspian !
It only stayed for a couple of seconds, then flew off to land over in the Gull roost.
Caspian Gull, 1st winter (No.1)
14.00 hours, Mick, MC and myself were looking at Caspian Gull (No 1) in the roost from the concrete road when Mick sees in the opposite direction, up on the shingle ridge above high water mark, Caspian Gull (No 2).
The light was awful (moan, moan), but Caspian no 2 was very settled and obligingly posed for a couple of side on, sky and sand backgrounds ! ! !

14.20 hours, at the fishing boats, the light is even worse ! ! !
Caspian Gull, 1st winter (No.2)
