Calais Gulls (13th August)

From the ferry in Calais, my brother and I had the opportunity to check out the gulls from an elevated spot.  There wasn't any chance for observing them closely as the boat soon pulled out of the harbour so it was a matter of frantically photographing anything that made a fly past.  After reviewing my pics a little more closely today, a 1CY Mediteranean Gull popped out among the lot and plenty of 1CY Common Terns were also circling the boat both good opportunities to check out some plumage ages I don't often see in the UK.
