Hi all,
Two days ago whilst doing gull pre-roost at Calvert lakes,Bucks,U.K had this Iceland Gull in very briefly, 5 mins max. Found a few here before but this one is quite early in Winter for here. Detected what thought darker webs in primaries and thought Kumlien's a possibility, thought 3rd Winter or advanced 2nd W, on top of this in one photo it appears to have a black/dark colour ring !! distant and didn't get chance to really grill it as went for record digi-pics then it was gone. Any thoughts on race, age and that colour ring welcome.
