Having never seen a Glaucous Gull, i got the opportunity today to go catch up with a 3rd winter bird not far from where i was working. The bird was showing very well, but what struck me was the size comparision between itself and the more familiar herring gulls.
Through dodging the heavy showers and battling against the high winds, i managed to get a record shot atleast shown here:

Also more info if anyone is interested on visiting the site. The bird has been present a few days atleast! This came just days after seeing the Bonaparte's Gull at Traeth Lliwgy
