I saw a gull yesterday and it seemed to have white wing tips. I dismissed this as wishful thinking and that the sun was behind it and I was hungry, and being silly. Then it started flying about.
'Crikey' I said.
More than once.
Once viewed with an optical aid, it was quite obvious what it is/was and I managed to snatch a few photos which larophiles will enjoy. Instructional they will say. Stroking of chins they will do.
Anyhow, here is a leucistic Herring Gull that I found yesterday. Enjoy...

I have more photos of this bird, but four is enough isn't it?
