Peterhead, 10th March 2012 - some gulls for a change

Arran joined us for the day at Peterhead - 'Mothers Pride?'
It's behind you....
Learning some tips from Chris...
First-winter Iceland Gull (below)
Second-winter Iceland Gull (below two) - still a few around, but not as many
Second-winter Glaucous Gull (below 3) - this beast has spent all winter here
A very dark first-winter Glaucous Gull (below) - again, a 'known' bird that has wintered at Peterhead
