Seen on the 7th January and the 10th February.
Identification:
- Long and extremely slender bill. Bill was so slender, that we did wonder if it was deformed
- Mainly white underwing, especially the greater coverts
- Long, sloping forehead.
- Very long legs; especially thin on this bird.
- Grey 'shawl'
- Typical Tertial pattern for 2nd winter Caspian
- Chocolate brown centred upper wing coverts
- White fringes to greater coverts formed an obvious wing-bar.
