First winter Iceland Gull there for less than an hour this afternoon.
I'd been scanning there for just short of an hour this afternoon and just about to leave when a 'white winged gull' arrived to bathe with other gulls. Some distance away - thought Iceland Gull but it looked quite big so better to check it's not a Glaucous Gull. No scope, so a quick dash to get it just as BS arrived (that was quick Bri !!) Scope did the trick to confirm identity and BS got some pictures - see his blog later today. Commiserations to JJL and AC - arrived just after it left at around 14:30.
A new bird for the Mixenden list and certainly looking forward to seeing the pic's Bri (West Yorkshire Birding).
