Caspian Gull ~ 1cy ~ Dungeness, Kent - 16.09.17

Sunday, 17 September 2017

Conditions seemed good for great day on the beach at Dungeness, light winds with a bit of rain then brightening up late on and an in-coming tide ...

Gannets in close diving off the back of a fishing boat, with at least four Arctic Skua's chasing the Terns and a juvenile Eider taking a rest on the beach with the gulls ..

Another Caspian Gull came in probable female smaller than last weeks bird and more advanced with its moult into 1st winter plumage ..
