Further to Dave's white - wingers

Mid afternoon : 150 or more HG's with a few LB-b G's feeding by the Council's tyre dump, near the giant compost heap, on the old part of the war time airfield at Withybush - map ref 969197. In the course of an hour the 1st w Glaucous and two 1st w Iceland Gulls (together once) came and went. One Iceland was paler than the other but not the 2nd year which did not show. There were lots of gulls in a field by Poyston West Farm which were not fully visible from the road, perhaps the 2nd year was there.

The nearby rubbish tip was closed, it being a Sunday. I wonder what happens in this area during the week when the tip is open ?
