Glaucous & Iceland Gulls
A day at north Shields Fish Quay on Saturday in the company of many birders and Gulls , we had all come to see Glaucous and Iceland Gulls and they put on a good show especially the Iceland Gull which gave cracking views , my interest was also in the so called "Viking" gull a hybrid of Glaucous and Herring Gull which put in an appearance later in the day , initially it looked just like a Glaucous but darker . I had heard the term Viking gull before presume it has northern origins where perhaps they are more common I suppose it's just a simple name rather than saying Glaucous X Herring Gull Hybrid
