My first Yellow-legged Gull was the long-stayer at Tees Barrage. It was south of the river but the river had been rerouted and thus the usual haunt was Durham. We wandered up to Portrack as a group of 10 birders or so and the bird perched just beyond mid river to the south opposite Portrack Marsh. Which is the very edge of Yorkshire - a lot of studying of maps led to a Yorkshire tick.
