Ivory Gull (Pagophila eburnea)

Rare vagrant High Arctic gull which is seldom encountered on the UK mainland. The winter storms of December 2013 ensured at least one was twitchable and like many others, I paid homage to the pile of fish which ensured it stayed for sevaral days at Patrington Haven, East Yorks. y
