Iceland Gulls - 11.02.07

[catherine nicol]

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.

Hi Catherine nice photo's given the conditions, the Iceland Gull is a first Winter immature bird.

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

There's still up to 4 Iceland Gulls at Scrabster Harbour, here's a recent photo of a 1st Winter immature bird.
