The adult CASPIAN GULL was again on Ibsley Water this afternoon. When I arrived at 2.30pm it was roosting alone on the island nearest the far bank. It was present til about 4.05 when the gulls were spooked and after a quick circuit of the lake it flew off south on its own. The whole time we (Simon King and myself) were watching it stayed near the back except for a couple of short flights. Helpfully an adult Yellow legged Gull wandered up to it at one stage and allowed a direct comparison.
