Second-winter apparent Viking Gull, Stiffkey Saltmarsh, Norfolk, 21st January 2012 (Steve Gantlett). First reported as a Glaucous Gull, this bird looked too small and rangy, yet it is too long-legged and short-winged for an Iceland Gull. The eye and bill colours, plus the patterning in the tertials and greater coverts, confirm it is a second-winter bird. The size and structure recall argenteus Herring Gull, as do elements of its plumage and bill pattern, so Glaucous or Iceland × Herring hybrid is the best guess for this gull.
