We arrived at Linky road car park to look for an Iceland gull which has been seen here for some time now and when we got there it was in a little pool beside the road before be flushed up by an on coming vehicle but it only moved on a pool a bit further up were it had a wash and gave amazing views before it flew out on to the beach and then flew onto the sea we watched the bird for about 5-10 minutes were we got good views of it we also noticed first winter and one adult Med gull
we then moved on to ness point hoping to find Purple sandpiper which we found very easily and very close in which gave dad some very good photo opportunities
