Caspian Gull


Juvenile Caspian Gull, Long Drove, Cottenham, 10th October 2011 © Dick Newell
This is only the second juvenile Caspian Gull that I have found in Cambs. Although it has retained all but 3 of its scapulars, and the scapulars are unusually patterned, like a holly leaf, after consulting experts, I am confident that it is a Caspian Gull. This bird is the subject of a Surfbirds discussion.
