Iceland Gull





 Iceland Gull, Peterborough. 7th February 2021 © Mike Weedon

'We have had three Iceland Gulls just east of Peterborough in the Nene valley in the last month. There is a grey-backed second-winter, a pale juvenile, and a darker juvenile. All have been coming to the Fitzwilliam Bridge area, only a mile east of the city centre, encouraged by thrown bread. The second-winter is the keenest on the hand-outs, but the darker, longer-winged juvenile has also been down to the water, including yesterday (Sunday 7.2.21) when I took these.' MW
