Ainsdale Beach

Only fly-by views today of the long staying and now 2nd winter Caspian gull, which was a pity because I wanted a good look at it. Apart from the usual waders, an adult winter Mediterranean gull was the other highlight. Also two ravens on the beach today.

Year: 117 (Caspian gull + 2 others!)

A snow coloured bird for a freezing cold day. If you look carefully at this photo, you can see the gull is sporting a flashy red ring on its left leg, which means it was probably ringed in Poland.
