GIRDLENESS ~ ABERDEEN HARBOUR
A bitterly cold dreich visit to Girdleness today but rewarded with my first 'white winger' Iceland Gull since making the move up to Aberdeenshire.

| Iceland Gull at Girdleness today |
A juvenile, I think perhaps 1st winter bird was preening on the rocks just below the allotments.
The bird stayed around for a good half hour before flying off with other gulls and lost to sight as it flew towards the harbour.
Also of note today ~ There was a short period of Dolphin activity on my arrival but unfortunately, the weather wasn't conducive to taking any decent images. I also noticed during a short Seawatch that Razorbill activity had increased with at least a half dozen birds mixed in with the Guillemots just below the lighthouse. There were also more Gannets passing through than of late but nothing unusual to report. Despite the weather, it was another enjoyable visit.
