Hybrid Gull

Hybrid Gull, Milton Tip, 31st January 2014 © James Hanlon
'...a hybrid gull resembling adult Iceland but with grey on the leading edge of the primaries and a very herring gull-like head & bill. I put it down as herring x glaucous (aka 'viking' gull) as we're told Icelands rarely hybridise but was intrigued by its long-winged appearance.' JH
