A 3rd winter Caspian Gull joined the Common and Lesser Black-backed Gulls at Middleton Moor this morning, the first I have seen this year and there was a lone Curlew which hopefully marks the start of Spring.
Although it will be another month or so before we are likely to see migrants arriving from the Continent.
The Caspian Gull wasn't a classic long-thin-billed and flat fore headed bird perhaps indicating that it has some Herring Gull in its ancestry but looked sufficiently Caspian Gull like to give it that name.
