WIntersett Gull Roost 15.01.15

5°C with sunshine and a very cold, strengthening, south westerly.
Wintersett Res Roost had excellent numbers of birds tonight in the very strong and gusty wind.  First seen was the juvenile Glaucous Gull at 15.30hrs, then a juvenile Iceland Gull at 16.00hrs.  A 2nd W Caspian Gull was spotted at 16.07hrs and the leucistic Black-headed Gull at 16.25hrs.  An adult Iceland was in at 16.32hrs.
NB Pugneys roost was small tonight with 3 regular Yellow-legged Gulls the only notables per @jonybirder
Southfield Res had a 3rdW/adult Iceland Gull per @ YorkBirding
Thanks to Lynz Harston for the following shot - It's hard to look cool when you're having a bad hair day.
