Some photos from my recent trip to Arpley tip near Moore Nature Reserve. An estimated 15000 gulls were present (down from 45000 before Christmas) with the vast majority being Herring Gulls. I saw 3 Iceland Gulls (a superb adult and 2 first winter birds) and a first winter Mediterranean Gull. An intermedius (Scandinavian) Lesser Black-backed Gull showed well stood next to a graelsii (UK) bird for nice comparison.
