Iceland Gull.
Larus glaucoides. Status: Scarce, but regular winter
visitor,
A medium-size gull, smaller
than most herring gulls. It has a rounded head and smallish beak, giving
it a dove-like expression. It has very pale plumage and white wing tips,
and, like the glaucous gull, it is sometimes referred to as a 'white-winged'
gull. It is a winter visitor, with small numbers of birds, usually seen
singly. It breeds in the Arctic and winters as far south as New York, Ireland
and Britain |
