Called in just after 09:00 and noted the bird just off the southeast bank, this time it was sideways on showing rounded head indicative of iceland. As soon as I set the scope up to try and check primary and wing projection it flew (I was lucky to get this shot).
I hung around for a couple of hours, as gulls were continually back and fore to the tip, but it never returned. As I waited 29 golden plover did a couple of laps before heading west also present; wigeon[6], goldeneye[6], goosander[5], lesser black-backed[85], great black-backed[2], herring gull[50]. Skylark and meadow pipit present but in low numbers.
