Caspian Gull

A brief stop of at Shawell A5 Lagoons today and another new Caspian Gull. A slightly tough job to age it as it appeared to be most like a third-summer. Perhaps not surprising as many of the gulls are closer to summer plumage than winter now.

Interesting how the same gull can look different depending on what they are up to - look at the difference in the appearance of the head.
