A record count for me of 8 Caspian Gulls at Leadenham Tip this alongside 15 YLG. Not sure what the county record is. 3x juvs, a 1s, a 2s, 2x 3s and an adult, some showing quite well, and a few yellow rings I couldn't read. Lincsbirding

What took up most of my interest at Leadenham was this ringed fuscus-type. Everything in the field seemed good, but seems like it's likely intermedius, being ringed as a 4cy+ near Stavanger. Lincsbirding
