Iceland Gull

I think this is my fourth ride out to Tanholt this year and on each of the previous trips I've ended up with a puncture. This time I appear to have avoided that but there were few birds, let alone the Iceland Gull reported from here on Sunday and presumably seen again yesterday going to roost on the Nene Washes.

I decided to return via Dogsthorpe Tip and quickly spotted many large gulls resting in the field opposite. This very pale Iceland Gull was virtually in the middle of my field of view as I lifted my bins to view them.
