Title: Caspian Gulls at Seaton Common
Post by: Thomas on January 21, 2012, 10:57:43 PM
Hi there! Hoping to secure my first Caspian Gull sightings over the next couple of days. I know it's impossible to predict exact locations etc, but could anyone give me some advice on where to look for them on Seaton Common?

For example, if any of the gulls have lingered in specific spots over the days, or if it is usually a case of checking everywhere for them? Wouldn't normally ask but I visit Teesside sporadically and thought I'd seek advise before hunting for such a tricky gull!

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I've put this map together and hopefully this will be of some use?

According to the locals, It's best to go on a week day when the tip is working.

Fantastic, exactly the kind of info I was after, thanks! I'll be going down early early Monday morning on foot, I'll let you know how I get on.
