ICELAND GULL Larus glaucoides There were three records of this scarce gull: Lowestoft: second/third year Mar. 12th (JRR). Benacre: first/second winter, Dec. 12th (DL, DRN). Felixstowe: a fourth winter approaching adult plumage 1987 to Apr. 20th returning Oct. 18th to 19i 9 (MM, BR, RBW et al).
The Felixstowe bird made frequent excursions to Landguard and presumably was the same as the adult that was disturbed from a roost at Fagbury, Dec. 24th (JLM). GLAUCOUS GULL Larus hyperboreus As with other species of 'white-winged' gull it is becoming increasingly difficult to assess the number of individuals involved due to overlap of localities, movement of birds and possibly confusion in ageing. Allowing for such duplication however, no more than eight birds were seen during the year. Lowestoft: first winter moulting first summer. Mar. 6th to Aug. 5th; adult, Nov. 25th; second winter (returning bird?) Nov. 26th to 1989. Pakefield: second year, Jan. 6th and Mar. 6th. Gisleham: by pit, second and third winter, Mar. 5th. Kessingland: second winter, Feb. 14th. Easton Bavents/Southwold: second winter, Mar. 13th, 27th and 29th. Minsmere: first winter, Mar. 18th and another Nov. 20th to Dec. 21st, third summer, Apr. 16th and 17th, adult, Oct. 30th. Aldeburgh: third summer, Apr. 15th. Felixstowe: first winter (slightly oiled) Feb. 23rd; Felixstowe Ferry, third winter, Jan. 6th to Apr. 10th, adult, Sept. 11th to 1989. The third winter individual that wintered at Felixstowe was probably the same as that seen at Aldeburgh and then Minsmere in April. 82
