Caspian Gull ~ 1st. W ~ Dungeness, Kent - 06.10.13

Tuesday 15 October 2013

Sun was low and had virtually gone, the beach was in shadow from the shingle ridge ...

 Richard packed up his camera 
" You don't wanna do that a Caspian will drop in "

minutes later ...
Panic !!!!!

Both DW & Me announce " Caspian "
and begin firing ...





Manual Ex in poor light
17:30 ~ 1/500 - F4 - iso 400
17:45 ~ 1/800 - F4 - iso 640
18:00 ~ 1/800 - F4 - iso 800


This is the same 1st. W bird thats been around from at least the 21.09

But its not the same bird as the Juvenile which we had on the 18.08
