Two in the fish quay again this afternoon. One seen over Heugh Pier and directly over our heads as well was probably one of the same birds.

One present this morning in the fish quay coming to bread and peanuts - though it did spit out the peanuts! It even landed on the quay a couple of times to grab bits of bread.

Two Iceland Gulls present today. One appeared to have darker primaries and band across tail - possibly Kumlien's?

The Glaucous Gull from this morning. It mostly remained distant on what was a very overcast morning.

All three were present again this morning though only one Iceland Gull gave close views from the fish quay. The other one, the potential Kumlien's was on the west side (lifeboat side) of the harbour across the water from the fish quay, mostly asleep but occasionally waking to preen. The Glaucous Gull was on the highest roof only twice flying down for a circuit of the harbour.

Kumlien's Gull and one 2nd winter Iceland Gull in the fish quay early afternoon. The Iceland Gull seldom came down from the roof and when it did it flew over to the lifeboat and back.
