Clyde Birds 16 (2006) p135-137 During January and February 2002, large numbers of “white-winged” gulls were recorded in the Clyde area, with 42 Iceland Gulls (Larus glaucoides) and 15 Glaucous Gulls (Larus hyperboreus) being seen. Amongst these birds, one example of the North American race of Iceland Gull, Kumlien's Gull (Larus glaucoides kumlieni), was identified. In this short article, Christopher McInerny and Stephen Votier summarise the incidence of these birds, put this is into the context of white-winged gull distribution in the UK in 2002, and explore reasons why the winter of 2002 was good for these species in the Clyde area.
