It felt a bit more wintery at Shawell today.
Due to the recent spate of 'white-wingers', it was positively boiling over with birders today.
Brian Moore had picked up a new juvenile Glaucous Gull on Thursday and Chris Hubbard spotted it flying in to the sandpit area today. Also the long staying second-winter was back again as was the second-winter Iceland Gull briefly.
Amongst the half a dozen Caspian Gulls I spotted a nice looking German ringed first-winter - XCCA.
