standing out from the juvenile crowd

Despite there being only c400 gulls at the tip this morning during the 45 mins I was there, there was only one that mattered - the second of the juv Caspian Gulls, last seen on 29th August. A beauty.

compare heads and bills...

...lovely white underwing, pale primary window

what a belter

Also at least 4 juv michs still about, but didn't see any older birds this time.
