I have now seen this Caspian Gull three times - it first appeared at Shawell on April 2nd and was still there today.
The photos don't really do it justice to be fair. I call Caspian Gulls shape changers, as they change appearance every time they move. Each time I photograph it it looks different.
Its bill at times looked really long and slender, but seconds later it looked unremarkable.
