Iceland Gull Reprise

At  very similar date to last year, and once again following gale force winds, an Iceland Gull is ranging around Cransdale Head. A 3rd Winter bird, this one also like last winter's
3rd Winter Iceland Gull



bird shows some markings in the outer primaries, but insufficient evidence overall to indicate Kumlien's to my mind.
 There were good numbers of gulls in the Cransdale area, feeding on the storm produced debris, often forming spectacular mobs feeding over the sea surface at close range.
