Viking or pure Glaucous?
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2016 8:27 pm
Hi all,
just wondering whether you could give opinions on the attached photos. This is a 2CY gull that has been reported as a Glaucous Gull and has been at Ullapool on the west coast of Scotland since the 2015/16 winter and is still present. The new scapulars, the bill pattern and the breast feathering seem strange to me, and I was wondering whether it is a Viking Gull?.
All photos are taken this year and are dated so you can see the progression, thanks for any help,
Peter Stronach
