Christine's walking & birds blog

Despite the uninviting weather I took the usual village walk. The Iceland gull was still around the harbour, boldly landing near some men working on a fishing boat.

Or is it a different individual? There was a dark mark towards the tips of the outer primaries, clearly seen when the bird was in flight - but only on the left wing. Otherwise, as far as I can tell from my pictures, the plumage markings correspond with the long-staying Iceland.
