Caspian Gull, Carburton Viewpoint, Notts

 













What a fantastic day !  We often visit the feeding station at Carburton and this was certainly one of the best visits with this Caspian Gull found by Mark Dawson and the supporting cast was just as good !!
A brilliant day, good birds in good company !
