Ice n' easy

Cotham Landfill apparently only has about 14 months left - so one more winter after this one. After that, the chances of finding white-wingers and Casps locally will be dramatically reduced. 

However, I've been a bit rubbish at visiting the site over the last few weeks, mainly due to work pressures. But with Wednesday and Thursday off work to paint my front room, I was planning a visit on the Thursday, once I'd done the majority of the decorating. However, this proved to be an error, with someone finding an Iceland Gull at Kilvington Lakes, and then at Cotham Landfill on the Wednesday. Oh well, kudos to them!

A visit to the tip first thing on Thursday paid instant dividends, as although most of the tipping area is now not visible from the cyclepath, the 2cy Iceland showed nicely for a few minutes on the front bank before flying out of sight (where the majority of the gulls were). 

Anyway, always nice to see a white-winger. But how many more...?
