But really enjoyable and challenging at the same time! <br /><br />There seems to be a lot of people swaying towards Glaucous but like you said Marc with the head shape and definitely the bill looked like Iceland features. Thanks Marc! <br /><br />David - Richmond bank is in cheshire: see map: <br /><br />https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=205366474492594833669.0004d27a7d9d66c700e06&msa=0&ll=53.377185,-2.657318&spn=0.006733,0.021136AlexHJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049122536173304923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412851395882523391.post-53625881370145575542013-01-04T17:30:41.445+00:002013-01-04T17:30:41.445+00:00Yes I would tend to think the white-winger was a s...Yes I would tend to think the white-winger was a small Glaucous, as Mark says with a small bill.

Always difficult from photos but I'd tend to go with a small Glaucous Gull (probably female), however I can see why you're puzzled as the head shape and bill looks good for Iceland in some pics . The bulk of the bird looks more Glauc to me though.<br /><br />As for the Yellow-legged, I'd have certainly called it one.<br /><br />Nice one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927135017383938272noreply@blogger.com
