Caspian Gull

'...that due to the covert pattern and weak nape streaking I
passed it off as a likely hybrid but further investigation suggests it is
likely to be a pure Caspian (one of five present that afternoon) as it is
squarely within the known range of variation and is structurally a classic
bird.' JH
