Iceland Gulls
Had to go over to Bressay today for work, and had no sooner parked the car than an Iceland Gull floated by outside. An hour later, back to the car, and picked up my bins to see if it was still hanging out with the Herrings offshore - only to find not one, but five of them!
Felt suitably inspired at lunchtime, so stopped by the roadside near my office to have a quick scan through the large loafing gull flock in the field at Gremista junction - another 3 there, 2 by the kipper shop (!), and 1 at the Catch. There may be a little duplication, but either way it's more Iceland Gulls in one helping than I've seen in years.
Just a record shot in ghastly light - it's about to snow
Follow the Weather Starling…
Come back soon!
