First white-winger of winter

With my flexi-time looking nice and healthy, I took this afternoon of with the intention of visiting Cotham Landfill - John Hopper has been having a couple of Iceland Gulls and the odd Caspo in the roost at Hoveringham, so I was hopeful of something good. There were maybe a thousand or so gulls present (probably more) - mainly Herrings, with smaller numbers of Great Black-backs. I couldn't see anything that looked like a Caspo, but did have a nice 1st W Iceland Gull (with a dark smudge on its left cheek); these are scarcer than Glaucs at Cotham, so good to get one under my belt on my first visit of the winter.
