There has been a reported Yellow legged gull at Darwen motorway services near Macdonald's, so after a visit to Elton, off I went...
When I arrived, I had just missed it my an hour! So I decided to wait a while in the hope it would turn up again. An hour and a half passed with nothing. But, 10 minutes before I was going to leave, it turned up around the Shell station. Though he was mobile, he showed quite well in different locations. I missed my return train by 2 minutes (oops, I blame the gull for that!), so I decided to cycle home. Phew! After aching legs from the merciless hills, made it just 1h 20 minutes later. Overall, a very good afternoon!!!
