Photos of this mornings peach of a juvenile CASPIAN GULL on Blackstone Edge Reservoir.
The bird was initially on the southern shoreline, restricting me to scope only views. Helpfully it then flew onto the mud in the NE corner next to the road. After feeding here for a short while it then took off again and headed west, over the dam wall. Maybe heading towards Hollingworth Lake?
The pale underwing completely blew out on my camera in the early morning sun, but I have managed to salvage most of the details
