A very striking gull was on the end of the Spit late afternoon. Long parallel greenish / yellow bill, pear shaped head with a dark beady eye, it looks very Caspian like to me but sadly no open wing shots that are good enough to make a conclusive identification so it will have to remain a possible.
I actually do think that this is good for Caspian but I need more to be 100% certain. On the other hand, I'm not sure what 100% certain means when we're talking about Caspian gull, so this is going down in my database as Caspian but don't take my word for it, it's probably not!
