3 x Caspian Gulls (1 sub-ad + 2 first winters) this morning at Dover harbour building site day roost. Proving to be a decent but, sadly temporary spot for loafing birds. #kentbirding #wpgulls

Adult Herring x Lesser Black-backed Gull (hybrid)
At least I think it is this hybrid combination. It associates with LLBG's and has the small size and build of a LBBG, but is lighter-mantled and has pinkish legs with yellowish wash. #wpgulls #gulls

Nice pale 1st winter & slightly ugly adult Caspian Gulls this morning at st Margaret's on the incoming tide. Common Gulls still passing South far out but not many interested in me and my bread today. #wpgulls #kentbirding #gulls

My favourite of today's Caspian Gulls was this adult at st Margaret's. One of 4 seen today locally. I'm Certainly enjoying seeing more adults, a noticeable increase in numbers of this age group in the last couple of years. #wpgulls #Kentbirding

Great to see this old friend back on the beach here today. This Common Gull was ringed as a 4+cy male at Tromso, Norway, on 13.5.04, so it is at least 24 years old. I first saw it in December 2010 and in most winters since then #ukbirding #birdguides #gulls #wpgulls

Last winter was good for Russian common gulls (heinei) with at least 3 identifiable individuals in the Dover area between late December and February hopefully more this season #wpgulls #ukbirding
