i must have taken over 800 photos in 3 hours before my fingers froze , but its a great site especially when the locals just drive and feed the ducks, if the ducks are fed so are the gulls and theres lots of them
caspian gull
3rd winter
classic shape and primary pattern white head with shawl
caspian gull
2nd winter
pale head and underwing
long tongue and mirror on p10
narrow tail band
many thanks to lou salomon for confirmation and educational notes
"2cy Caspian Gull. long white rectangular ended tongue to p10, p10 mirror (pretty rare in 2nd cycle HGs and almost impossible in YLG), small oval eye, pointed bill tip. the pretty narrow tail band actually is not so common for this age class in cachinnans - but possible."
this next one has me stumped
no obvious wing flash,grey mantle,white head
