Nice White-winger!

Nipped down the coast today to visit the harbour mouth of Sunderland where a adult Iceland gull has been seen. As soon as I left the car it flew over my head and behind the apartment's here......bugger! But thankfully it returned. Mr Scott and his good lady where onto the bird as I arrived at the old pier here, the above shot shows what greeted me here.

After this the bird seemed to do a circuit every now and then of the habour mouth disappearing from sight at times only to reappear a little later.









Stunning views had at times as it flew very close.

































This Kittiwake was in the harbour area today also.
















Along with 5 Red throated divers, 2 of which where higher up the river than the marina.
















And a Rock pipit for company also on the pier.
