Hello Marven and Tweeters,
I photographed this bird in any angle and every position for every one to
see on the internet soon. We had many different expert birders opinion
before it was put on to tweeters.This bird was found around the 10th of
January and not published to we all was sure it is a Iceland Gull. Bruce
Labar give a real good description of this bird,and in order to see the
underwings we have to catch this bird, because this bird can not fly.I hope
my photos going to be proof enough to say this bird is an winter Adult
Iceland Gull.
