Fly Flatts has suddenly burst back to life with 4 Curlew
2 Oystercatcher, 2 Barnacle geese, 94 Canadas, 78 Lapwing and 1 Raven.
Then , just as I thought it was all over, along came this :-
This has got to be Caspian Gull, 3rd winter.
The bird flew >N low over the water under the east banking .
Even at the distance through bins the black bullet hole eye
and bright white head stood out along with the milky
white underwings.
Very lightly speckled head
It had just the same slow casual flight as my October bird.
BS.
