A widespread gull in Northern latitudes, regular in Britain in winter in small numbers, particularly
in the north. Return to the same site annually is
frequently recorded (as it is sometimes with Iceland), but the majority of sightings are of 1st winter birds, most
of which do not survive to return as adults. The shot on the thumbnails page shows a third year bird which is far less commonly seen
in wintering areas.
