Presumably the same bird was reported at torr reservoir this lunchtime (has also been seen at chew)

Certainly looks the part in Cliff’s photos, Mike

I’m reliably informed this was in proper Somerset…  This evening at 6pm, a 1stw Iceland Gull was in a mixed gull flock in a ploughed field between Chewton Mendip and Farrington Gurney, an area that often hosts feeding gulls. It flew roughly NW after 10 mins so could well have been heading to Chew.
