Christmas shopping in Preston on Saturday didn't give me much hope of seeing any birds however I managed to persuade my parents to stop off at the docks on the way home to see if the 2nd winter Iceland Gull which had been present there for a few days was still there. Luckily it was present by the car park coming to bread that was being thrown by another birder so it gave great views down to 5 ft.
On Sunday I went to the North west birdwatching fair at Martin Mere and since we went through Preston on the way home we stopped off at the docks to try get more views of the bird. Unfortunately it wasn't playing ball so I had too wait over an hour before it finally showed up on it's favourite pontoon.
