A flicker of excitement this afternoon when a stumbled upon an all white gull, but after a quick glance I was certain it was just a leucistic Herring Gull.
However, what followed was much discussion on our own SBR WhatsApp group and Twitter about what this bird actually was. A second summer Iceland Gull was suggested but after much more online discussion the general consensus was that my original call was correct and it was indeed a Herring Gull. Other than the dodgy gull there was not really much else about, a female Stonechat was in the same area as the male that I found the other day. A couple of Coots were present and a few Swallows and Chiffchaffs were noted.
