When doing a seal round this afternoon Lisa found a splendid 1st winter Glaucous gull on Porth Lleuog. It was eating a dead shag in among 167 grey seals that were hauled out! Without checking I think it is the first Glaucous gull on Ramsey for at least 8 years
Very similar to Iceland gull it can be told by it's stockier and more 'fierce' look, a well marked bill with a defined black tip and a short primary projection. There were some herring gulls nearby but they weren't going anywhere near this character!
