1s. The larger individual. Greater coverts finally revealed, albeit briefly ... the thinly barred inners seem to meld into fairly even width smooth pencil grey for most of tract.bit like YLG but better view desired. Far fewer gulls this evening compared to recent days. Once again, not a single wader ... though veg obscures views from north hide.

22/04/21Caspian GullStandlake: West Oxon Sailing Club Lake1M Cunningham

Stuck in working so constant news of good birds moving enjoyable but frustrating. Cracked and mad dash here seeking terns and gulls. Only foy common terns and a bruiser of a 2 y Male Caspian gull. Reed warbler new in.  
28/03/21Caspian GullStandlake1M Cunningham
14:40
1w probably male. Large individual v LBB so this and relatively heavy bill suggests Male. Though greater covs rather mealy especially inners hinting at poss herring influence But everything else in structure, moult and plumage good for Caspian. And TM and IL agree so that'll do me .
