I'd hoped for one but ended up with TWO Iceland Gulls at lunchtime today :-) :-) Here's the sequence of events....
A lucky break, finding the 1st Winter Iceland Gull within seconds of arrival......
A better angle with less other Gulls in the way!
Eventually a wingflap and off it flew......
A fly past!
As it proceeded to spend time in the water......
After watching it more distantly on the water, I can't remember who 'called it' but suddenly there was a second bird on the water!
Wow, angelic or what - a 'ghostly white' 2nd Winter Iceland Gull.....
Brief flaps and flight onto the ice
Preening on the ice.....
Where it was till present as I made my way back to work - a lucky break or what!
