Caspian Gull

First Winter Caspian Gull, Milton Tip, 10th January 2014 © James Hanlon

'Great gulling at Milton today with juv glauc & Iceland & 4+ Caspian gulls (3+ 1w, 1 ad).

Lee Gregory had a different 1st winter Caspian earlier on and I see Ade Cooper had 3 adults. so that's a minimum of 7 Caspians, perhaps second only to the 9 seen last winter there in one day.

Addition 13/01/2014 - Saturday's two 3rd winters mean that a min of nine birds were seen between Fri pm and sat am - equal to the county record day count from last winter. In all probability there has probably been double figs present this weekend, a significant proportion of the national total.' JH
