Not the prettiest 1st winter Caspian Gull I’ve ever seen, 

but it shows all the main features on the CP shallows this morning 

and a second bird on Wintersett Res.

This 2nd Caspian Gull appears to be the red ringed bird 

that has been at Sheffield and was at Old Moor 

a couple of days ago. Has a figure 5 (05?) and was apparently ringed in Holland.

 

Anglers CP Roost:  98% ice  

 

 

A juvenile Iceland Gull was in the roost from 16:33,

 

whilst the Red ringed Caspian Gull stayed all day.
