Since the begining of November the unseasonally warm weather had certainly stopped the westwards movements of a lot of species, thank goodness for February, some decent snow and excellent low temperatures and the visitors drop in 1, 2 and a Glaucous will do. Mind you some wildfowl were'nt that impressed.

| The Second Iceland Gull |

| Slightly closer. |
 |
| Juvenile Glaucous Gull |
 |
| An odd open patch. |
 |
| Waiting for the big melt. |
 |
| Dancing on ice "no score"! |
 |
| Better poise. |
 |
| Brrr! iced water. |
 |
| Warmer out rather than in! |
 |
| Just sit and wait. |
 |
| And complain. |

Freshly engaged perhaps?
With the big melt underway or complete, the white wing gulls look to have been usurped by Caspian and Yellow-legged Gulls. Roving Tit parties seem to be diminishing as temperatures continue to rise into the positivly balmy.
We shall see what happens next.
