Hi Patricia,
How confident are you that this is a Caspian gull?
It shows a yellow eye, which is the exception rather than the norm in Caspians. Furthermore, Caspian gulls are also notable for having a very white head and a long, narrow bill. This bird, with its streaked head and chunky bill, looks more like a herring gull to me. Posted 5 years ago

The European herring gull

The European herring gull is a large gull, up to 66 cm long. One of the best-known of all gulls along the shores of Western Europe, it was once abundant. It breeds across Northern Europe, Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and the Baltic states.
