Had only just got back from Shropshire when a txt asking if I fancied goin upto Lancashire for the Bonaparte's Gull arrived from Archie so arranged to pick him & Jules Allen up & off we set!! As soon as we got to Heysham Power Station we were on the bird but it remained rather distant on the sea before finally coming closer for a cpl of mins by the outflow!! Not brilliant photos but still a nice bird & only my 3rd in Britain & the 1st in Summer plumage.............
