Just about to go along to my local patch. Little breeze this evening may cause a movement of hirundines. Good luck on the boat Peregrinator. Reckon you'll still get a load of birds in and around the reedbeds.
Attached one last gull photo. Not for diessection of reasons as to what it is, (as you can see). Just thought it was a rarity.

Looks like a knackered leucistic herring gull to me.
"""I have only just seen this thread, and havn't read it all (thus somebody may have already covered this issue), but the majority of Caspian Gulls will have a dark iris - for me, I don't think the original picture is off a Caspian Gull - certainly not like any I have ever seen, plus the head shape is generally wrong, and that bill structure can be found on Herring Gulls.

Wanna come and look at some eastern phylloscs Mark :t:
