Photos of the usual large male Caspian Gull at Stubbers Green - the flight shot is courtesy of Martin Garner
27th January
Late afternoon I made it to Stubbers Green again. I spent half an hour chatting with a birder next to me before I realised it was Martin Garner. Dozy or what? Anyway Martin had found two adult Caspians when I arrived. One was the usual big male and the other was a smaller bird I had seen here on Monday. He had also been here the day before – see this link: http://birdingfrontiers.com/2012/01/29/iceland-and-caspian-gulls-together/
Again some dick head flushed the gulls by walking straight through them. I then wandered over to Chasewater for the roost. Hundreds of gulls present and really you need a group of birders to make the most of this opportunity. I was on my own and the rain soon started pouring down so I climbed back into the car and called it quits. On arriving home I was a little surprised to see Iceland and Caspian Gulls reported in the roost – I hadn’t seen any other birders there.
