A Kelp Gull, Larus domincanus subspecies vetula, commonly known as Cape Gull has been at Graham Water, Cambridgeshire this week. This is the first record of the species, in the UK which has a normal range in Southern Africa/Namibia
I did not expect at all to meet this little dude ...
At first, I had absolutely no idea what it was, I did not know that crane nestlings were reddish like that and it was more or less swimming on the water like a duck.
I should have known though, as 2 minutes before I was secretly trying to approach a pair of common cranes in the swamp, that eventually flew away. I had never thought about where Common cranes are nesting, I was assuming it was way more in the north of Europe.
Anyway after taking a shot, I did not stay much longer to avoid creating too much disturbance :(
On a sunny morning, at 7AM, on the roadside .. if I had not been in a car, it would have disappeared in one second ..
