Light southerly and sunny
Didn't get out for anything other than a trip "to the shop" today. However, as I had spotted an interesting gull or two from the sitting room I thought it prudent to swing by and check things out more closely. I'm no expert but this second winter / 3cy Iceland Gull grønlandsmåke looks like a candidate for kumlieni. Comments welcome...
Another gull, no doubt just some freaky Herring Gull gråmåke variant looked quite distinctive, rather dark, deep-chested, smalled-headed and long-billed.
A couple of Woodcock rugde seen in the woods as it got dark - must be starting to have a hard time of things with the ground being so frozen.

Possible Kumlien's Gull - dark primaries obvious but may still be at the light end of the scale?
Above and below: these photos look very interesting - the primaries are obviously quite dark

Unusual Herring Gull gråmåke or something "off the map"?

No doubts about these - a pair of Goldeneye kvinand
