First-winter Caspian Gull at Shawell

I popped over to Shawell A5 Lagoons after work and there was a good gathering of gulls there. A new 'wave' of gulls arrived from the lagoons at the same time as something upset the ones already there. They all swirled around in front of me for quite a while.

Eventually they all settled back down on the water. Amongst them was a splendid first-winter Caspian Gull. What's more the gulls were fairly close, so I was able to get some decent record shots of it.
