2nd Winter Iceland gull at Priorslee.

The day was supposed to be spent trawling around the Meres for a few, still to be found species I needed for the new year. However with the possible catch of an Iceland and or a Caspian gull, yes you guessed it I was at Priorslee balancing lake at 10:45. Had a bit of lay in!!!

At first there was no sign, as is normal! then amongst a group of large gulls there it was and very nice to, and so obliging, it just sat around for a fair old while!!! :-)

As for the Caspian not seen :-(

Really just a couple of record shots, but what a nice record to have this early in the year so still time for loads of other gulls to drop in,, maybe the Caspian or how about a Ring billed or better still a Glaucous gull! who knows will have to keep a closer eye on the place over the next couple of months.

Cheers
