    Iceland Gull, Lossiemouth, Scotland

    Does this look good for Iceland Gull. After I had taken these they were put up by 'swimming dog' and about ten minutes later another birder commented there had been reports of an Iceland. This was on Lossie estuary Thursday afternoon about 1530. First for me if it is. Jim
