    Default Iceland Gulls - 11.02.07

    Despite the foul weather I ventured down to Scrabster to eyeball the Artic Gulls.

    The car was blowing about and the Gulls didn't have a hope of standing pretty for the camera but here are a couple of pictures that I took anyway.

    Default Gulls

    Lovely pics, when do they arrive and are they harbour gulls or normally sea birds?

    Great photo Rod!
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.
