Thou shalt always bird...

Following a day at the Warren where I was fortunate enough to see a first winter Kumlien's Gull (see here) I arrived home before dark and happened to notice plenty of gulls on the Salty. I postponed the planned visit to the kettle and set up the scope. After ten minutes of careful searching I had found nothing amongst the hundreds of Herring and Black-headed Gulls except a few Curlew and on the river half a dozen Red-breasted Merganser. However looking away from the main gull flock suddenly  a white beacon shone through the gloom - a cracking adult Glaucous Gull. It remained until near dark shining away.

Continuing the blog theme of poor 'record' shots. The usual excuses apply, nearly dark, looking through double glazing, 500m away and general ineptness.
