Glaucous Gull

Appeared at Marloes Sands 1130 to 1145 but didn't land and drifted off north.  It was then at Marloes Mere bathing and then preening on the grass bank below Varna Cottage.  It's a pale, bleached out bird - but the eye looks dark and the patterning uniform so would seem to be a juvenile (2CY).  Looks like the bird at the Gann is the same bird. (The Glauc is in the first photo, honest!)
