Franklin's Gull, Chasewater 15th July 2010

A phone call from PJ had me hurtling down the M6 at 19-00hrs following the finding of Staffordshire 2nd ever Franklin's Gull. This was a full summer plumage adult, but it spent most of the time asleep. I managed a few pictures of it sleeping plus some shots of Chasewater now it is drained.
