10+ argentatus Herring Gulls, while 3 Lesser black bacled Gulls, including 2 adults had returned to the coast.
Sorry for the poor pics, but this was taken in the fading light in the gloom at Abergele this evening.

'Caspianesque' as opposed to Caspian Gull
No sign of yesterday's Caspian Gull which was seen at the mouth of the Clwyd at 4pm yesterday. I searched from Llanddulas to Kinmel Bay looking through thousands of gulls on the way. Only one bird made my heart miss a beat - this lovely white headed Caspianesque like gull. Nice and a bit different but not the stonking bird that was seen yesterday by Pete Kinsella.

Can't decide about this. Some things look ok but scaps, tertials and prims not what I'd expect. Head and bill look ok in couple of shots, less so in the other. Looks less like a mich to me. Be interesting to hear other thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIt's just an interesting looking argenteus Herring Gull I think Rob. Got my heart going to start with but soon decided there weren't enough characteristics for anything else. I suppose it could be an interesting Michahellis I suppose but there's no real point going there.
