2nd cal year Caspian Gull at the fishing boats this afternoon
Due to the persistent sleet this afternoon I didn't get out of the car when I visited the fishing boats, a few Gulls came to the stale bread offerings including the above Caspian Gull, also an adult Mediterranean Gull made a brief visit but not the hoped for white winger.
A visit to the reserve where the Great Northern divers and Black Throated Diver were still present along with at least 4 Goldeneye.
