Friday 12th Dec. Gull roost, Ferry Road, ports land. Sitting on the ground among other gulls, so complete view not possible, was a larger-than-herring gull with a classic glaucous-shape head and bill, long pink and with a distinct black tip. Could not see the primaries or most. of the body. The plumage I could see was a little darker than I expect, but some glaucous can be like this apparently until January. Have seen two recent reports now of glaucous gull in Cleveland. Do these relate to Hartlepool please?
