    Hi Andrew, There has been 2 Common Cranes that seem to be on tour of Durham within the past month or so. So it is very likely your bird was a Crane. Sometimes Grey Heron do fly with their necks fully extended but that's often rare to see, I have only ever seen it on 1 or 2 occasions. If it was...

    Is it a trick of the light making a LBBGull mantle shade look paler or is the gull on the left a Yellow-legged Gull?

    Belated News 1 ad Caspian Gull on Rainton Meadows DWT a couple of weeks ago, observor is a superb gull watcher and the record will be genuine. With birds also getting seen in Teesside throughout the winter on a fairly regular basis this is all good news.:t:
