Caspian Gulls in Suffolk, UK

Brian J. Small

The following article and images is based upon my experiences of Caspian Gull Larus cachinnans in the Blythburgh area of Suffolk. It is an edited, more up to date and more visual version of an article published in ‘Suffolk Birds 1999.’ It is also hoped that it will be up-dated regularly, adding images of recent gulls.

All of the images have been made using a digital video camera through a Leica APO Televid telescope with a 20X eye-piece.
