Where's the snow?

Everywhere else seems to have got the snow, but this corner of NE Scotland has mostly escaped. There appears to be a greater concentration of gulls and geese than usual in the fields as a result, with a mass of gulls flying from inland onto the coast at Cransdale this morning.
A pair of Red-breasted Merganser were there this morning, and an Iceland Gull again. Still a small group of Common Scoter offshore there. Increased numbers of Kittiwakes in the area as well in the heavy seas.
Picture shows one of the two 1st yr Glaucous gulls at Peterhead this morning, a particularly dark bird.
