Thayer's... er, sorry, Iceland Gull (and a wannabe)

 After plugging away with Biwako ducks this winter, it was finally time to switch back to gulls. There weren't as many gulls as I'd hoped for when I arrived in Mie but a Thayer's will always make it a good gulling day in this part of Japan.

From left to right; Taimyr, Vega (the usual suspects) and Thayer's.

By this time of year the gulls on the beach are reasonably approachable, they are really flighty early in winter.

Unlike ducks, gulls are pretty easy when it comes to getting shots of wing pattern.





Of course you have to watch out for the Vega that wants its 15 minutes... there's always got to be one, hasn't there!






Got to give it marks for effort I suppose.
