Sounds like I was being over generous in even calling this as a 'possible' but it really did look quite suggestive at times though overall just too much wrong with it. Still, at least it didn't turn into another BGM Ross's Gull shocker! Haven't seen too many cachinnans and only one in the last few years so I think I might have a refresher trip to the Midlands later in the year in preparation for a nice smart first winter at Topsham Rec.Tim Worfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081554391725867216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089047804797090488.post-49387262191352973802014-06-21T21:55:22.722+01:002014-06-21T21:55:22.722+01:00Hello Tim.

Afraid I wouldn't even go as far as 'possible' with this bird though - the jizz in just about all the pics doesn't do it for me. Plumage-wise, you and Matt have pointed to everything (and more) that I might have thought of, though I'd maybe add that the remaining dark bits in the tail would worry me - a bit too mottled and extensive for my liking.Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089047804797090488.post-86439956266901889932014-06-21T14:31:14.975+01:002014-06-21T14:31:14.975+01:00Hi Tim -odd looking bird but doesn't feel righ...Hi Tim -odd looking bird but doesn't feel right for caspian to me either. Agree really not keen on median covert s and legs look too thick n too pink. Nothing to rule out awkward built herring gull and I think it is best left as possible at best. Also a number of photos show mean browed look out of keeping with casp. I've got em wrong in the past tho.........Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005197630915867345noreply@blogger.com
