Little at Corton but Caspian found in Link's Road car park

On Saturday 30th August, I looked around Corton seeing 2 Sand Martins flying over Corton cliffs, 5 Sandwich Terns on the groynes below but couldn't find the Caspian Gull seen by Stephen H but I did bump into Stephen at Corton Churchyard where it was good to catch up. As Stephen left a Lesser Whitethroat flew in to the north hedgerow. A tweet about a YLG in Link's Road car park had me hot footing it down there, I couldn't see the YLG but I saw another striking gull but it looked like an immature/ 1st winter Caspian Gull to me, I took a few pics in the fading light but a car drove past and flushed which was very annoying I as I would have liked to get more pics. Pouring through Olsen's Gulls later confirmed my initial ID.
