An awful lot of gulls at Richmond Bank this morning but trust us to pick the first day in a while with bright sunshine - straight in the eyes !
Despite the difficult light Manchester Birder Nick Isherwood managed to locate the juvenile Glaucous gull - and a life tick. But try as we might, we couldn't find the Iceland or Yellow-legged gulls.
