Heysham Obs
Unless someone can indicate to the contrary very first thing, the juvenile Glaucous Gull could not be found anywhere this morning, despite a careful search of the nooks and crannies over the high and early dropping tide. However, as soon as the waterfall came into its own as the tide dropped even further in early afternoon, it appeared. Presumably hauled up on an obscure rooftop (definitely not on the wooden jetty or Fisher's roof)
