... it was also one of the wettest days I've known ... luckily this first-summer bird was on the near shore so a few 'phone-scope shots were just about possible ...
... it walked along the shore in wader-style as it fed ...
... as I had previously had only flight views and often distant ones of this species of gull, I was particularly keen to see it ...
... there is always something about a high Arctic breeder ... and one that winters far away in the oceans of the southern hemisphere ... and normally lives a highly pelagic existence ...
... Nosterfield is a great reserve and one that has continued to change and improve over the four decades that I've known it ...
