White Wings

Looking at the photo of a recent Iceland Gull I noticed a re-occurring theme with Lizard white winged gulls, they always seem to be distant and often brief. I have been lucky to sometimes even get a record shot...
 Spot the Iceland, and some older pics
 Brief  Kumliens from 26/2/12
 Distant Glaucous 3/4/2011
 Spring Iceland from the 6th May 2007. As soon as you leave the lizard you need a wide angle to fit them in.  A few Icelands



and a few Glaucous
