On Monday I had a cracking afternoons gulling in Cambs. I started off at the tip at Milton and spent two happy hours pouring through the few thousand gulls coming and going. Top of the pops were up to six Caspian Gulls, with a back up of around ten Yellow-legged Gulls. I was disappointed not to bag myself a white-winger as up to two juv Glaucs had been seen the previous few days. At around 3:15 I thought I should give the Grafham roost a go. I was pushing it get there before it got too dark, but managed to pull up just after 4pm
I started scanning from the fishing lodge and within five minutes I had found a lovely looking adult Glauc not far off shore. All other hopes of finding more Caspo's drifted in to the darkness as I happily watched my first adult Glauc of a good few years.
The videos above were digiscoped (at great distance!) with a Swarovski ATS 80 HD, 25-50x zoom, and Nikon V1 and kit lens.
