After seeing nothing down Splash Point and then on Seaford Head, I again visited the Lower Cuckmere with a fully charged phone hoping yesterdays highlights were still present. I soon found a first-winter
Caspian Gull having a wash on the pool. It thankfully flew and landed among the other Gulls continuously preening. Difficult to tell whether its the same bird as yesterday due to a couple of features not matching up, but maybe this was due to the rain today.
As I was about to leave, the same
Glaucous Gull flew in and landed on one of the many floods, and it stayed put until I left. The Glauc does seem to appear at high tide.
first-winter Caspian Gull in Lower Cuckmere - thankfully the phone behaved today
good to see the return of this beast - Glaucous Gull
