An interesting first winter Iceland Gull
The outer primaries look contrastingly darker
Quite a strong tail bar
Are these dark outer primaries, rather solid tail band and overall coarse markings indicative of Kumlien's Gull ?
The adult Caspo flies in with a full crop
The first winter Caspo never came close today
Loving the Caspo shot, here's hoping I find my own in Durham this winter. Still a really rare bird up our way.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be on the increase or is it observer awareness ? Still a bird that often gets confused with other species, good luck in finding one :-)
