and some of the more eagle-eyed readers may just spot the white feathers of a visiting glaucous gull among the gulls attempting to avail themselves of scraps from the small tosher cleaning his nets...
seen here captured in flight by Martin Elliot who also provided the Ivan Ellen photos. The gull is thought top be about four years old and possibly the same one that has been spotted in and around the harbour over the last couple of years. These gulls were more common years ago - they are great scavengers and will follow the fishing boats looking for scraps! In the arctic, where they are found in larger numbers they breed all year round.
