After visiting the compost 3-4 times a week, I finally had some success this morning which more than made up for all of the gull-less visits I've had this January.
2 1st year Iceland's were sitting on the compost rows along with 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls. But the highlight was definitely the 3rd winter / adult Glaucous Gull that appeared from no where, circled the car once and then, unfortunately, headed off in the direction of Monkey Run.
