观察细节

Both 1st winters on the Axe, dropped in with other large gulls to preen wash on the falling tide. Didn't see both at the same time, but considered to be two birds based on slight variation in size, extent of streaking and behaviour. Light poor but record shots taken of the second bird. 1st comparable in plumage.
