9th Feb - cloudy, rain till early pm, 8C, light S

Shawell Sandpit/landfill; late afternoon.

A Glaucous Gull was found by Carl about lunch time, but I could not make it.  I did get there about 1530h and it was said to have flown out of sight towards the landfill from the sandpit.  Eventually the Gull massed on the plateau flew up and luckily I managed to spot the juv Glaucous and watch it in flight before it departed with other Gulls, presumably to roost at Draycote res.
A super looking bird, quite pale and 'big'!
