Caspian Gull ~ 3rd. W ~ Dungeness, Kent - 12.10.14

Wednesday 15 October 2014

After being set-up at the puddles near the fishing boats at Dungeness for well over an hour the only bird of note to come in was a 1st.w. YLG ..
The gulls would come in to feed then some would return to the roost 200m's away at the wooden tower, the feeding frenzy kicks off and we'd drag the gulls back to the puddles only for them to go back to the roost ..
DW seemed to have something interesting in the roost so we went over, parking infront then a quick scan revealed this beast ...

Caspian Gull ~ 3rd. W

 1/60 ~ F4 ~ iso 640


Not once did this bird venture over to the puddles for a feed ..

Flight shots at 1/80 are set to fail !!



I would like another go at this bird in better light, so hopefully it will do the right thing and show up again at the weekend ...
