A good gulling sesh at Cotham Landfill this afternoon produced a super adult Glaucous Gull (as usual my pics don't do it justice) - the first adult white-winger I've had at this site I think. No sign of the juvenile though, which I was expecting to see (as what was presumably it was seen at Hoveringham on its way to roost earlier in the week).

Also present were three Caspian Gulls - an adult and two 1st winters (although I think one may've been a retarded 2nd winter judging from the tertials and coverts). The adult showed a nice suite of features - dark iris, parallel sided bill, attenuated rear end, white tip to P10 and long legs. Again, not great pictures:

I only managed a pic of one of the two sub adults:
