March. Heysham Harbour
An Iceland Gull had been in the harbour area for some weeks and has been regularly reported at a place named the waterfall in the harbour, so i decided to visit and twitch the gull, as i do not have a car it was a fair walk to the nature reserve then all the way around the back of the power station to view the harbour and waterfall area, once there i could see 6 birds feeding off the scraps that must be coming from the power stations canteens, one bird stuck out from the others then it did a wing flap at another gull pure white wings, yes its the Iceland Gull a major spot and not an easy bird to see. I moved from my location and trespassed only slightly onto the power station land and had fantastic views of the Iceland Gull my 240'th Western Pale Arctic species.
