Laughing Gull (Leucophaeus atricilla)

Well Peeps,
This rarity to the UK showed up on my local patch yesterday, not 200 yards from my house. I'm not sure if I've seen and possibly photographed this species before in Virginia, USA, but its definitely a new bird for me in the UK. I had birders from different parts of the UK texting and e-mailing me last night, wanting to know the exact location of this bird.

Cracking shot Mali, I suppose you are doing teas and bacon butties to the Twitchers? ;)
