It has been a difficult month at Shawell - plenty of gulls, but difficult to pin down. Today Steve Nichols and I were scanning through a group of gulls when Steve spotted a a second calendar-year Iceland Gull. It's hard to tell whether it is the same juvenile that I saw in both January and February with faded plumage, or is it a new bird?
