Today I received info about an Iceland Gull resident for the last two years in a beach close to Vigo city, in the NW Spain. The bird arrived as part of an influx of Icelands to N Spain in winter 2009, the rest of the birds left after the winter but strangely enough this individual decided to remain there. A girl often feeds this gull, and in the summer the bird likes to walk among the tourists sunbathing on the beach. I saw this bird last August, a kind of strange twitch! Last Fall it's been seen eating grapes fallen from a grapevine. A peculiar bird!
