1cy Glaucous Gull


























the Glaucous only came in mid afternoon with a fishing boat then it fed on the discards fighting with the other big gulls and getting a bit scruffy about the head in the process -- it then had a good bathe and preen before flying back out to sea - -not great light, its Britain in winter, but a nice dark bird

if I saw this I'd wonder about it being a hybrid - "Viking Gull" I think? Looks a bit dark, and I always think Glaucs look like they want to kill you, and this one doesn't?
