Cullingworth Fields & Redcar Tarn
There's now confirmation that there have been three Caspian Gulls in the south of our area.  A 1st-winter bird, first seen on the 5th, at Cullingworth Fields flew off and hasn't been seen again. There's a different 1st-winter and also a ringed 2nd-winter which have frequented Redcar Tarn.
Thanks to Keith Moir for confirming the situation.
