Saw this gull at Kilnsea Wetlands yesterday. It's not a time of year I would expect Caspian but thinking this could be one. Any thoughts, observations welcome.

Wow, birdforum isnt just a place, where I can find information about different aspect of birds, including identification, but more; I can improve my english in one go! Thanks for that!
A 2 cy Caspian Gull for me too, btw. Please note:

• real white head and body for a 2 cy Gull
• slender long bill
• right shape and posture with small head and bulging breast
• birl looks slightly away from camera, accelerating the ID-friendly eye position of a Caspian Gull: set slightly forward towards bill
• two toned washed greater coverts with a whitish band

Thanks, but I still have to scroll down to the bottom of the sidebar to find out this is somewhere in the U.K. Seems to me the English are the worst on this site about giving location information.

I suspect you actually meant 'the British'. But, otherwise, I think it will be as wise for me not to comment on this comment as it would have been for you not to make this comment in the first place.
