Slender-billed Gull

After showing this photograph to my husband his reply was & I'll quote ' Well it's a lovely photo, but it's only a boring Gull' to that I replied it's one of my 518-519 now(!) birds visiting or resident in Oman and I think it's actually rather stunning, especially with that unusual eye. Anyway the big news is that the Pelican is the newest bird on the list as it has been spotted many times at Bar Al Hickman & guess what I'm off there in just over s week!
