Observation details
I was throwing some chips to the Herring Gulls and Carrion Crows and an all white gull landed in front of me! A second or third year Iceland Gull - paler than one I saw in West Sussex only two days previously. Rather late (?) for them still to be around. By the time I got my camera, the bird had moved some distance away so photos are not as sharp as they might be. We debated whether it might be a Glaucous, but it was about the same size as the Herring Gulls with a gentle-looking face and fairly small bill. Difficult to be sure of leg length but probably smaller than those of the Herrings.
