Capsian Gull (First Winter)

Capsian Gull (First Winter)

this shot is included in my portfolio, not because it is a great shot, but because it is a 'Once in a Lifetime' shot. A Caspian Gull had never been reported in South Wales prior to me taking this shot and indeed the only ever Welsh Record had been seen the day before at Gresford Flash nr Wrexham in North Wales.
This then is a No 2 for Wales. Such a rare bird deserves a place with my best shots!!
