At last - my first ever 'Caspian Caspian'. Day 1 of the trip was spent sorting out a hire car etc, but I found some time to look at some Caspian Gulls along the main sea promenade in Baku. A great moment, to see this species within the core of its range; here they should be far from the spectre of hybrid breeding with Herring and Yellow-legged Gulls.
