Glaucous Gull, 62–68 cm, is an imposing all-white Arctic gull — no dark markings on wing tips. Breeds across the High Arctic and ventures south in winter to both sides of the North Atlantic and Pacific. Predator and scavenger; preys on seabird eggs and chicks at colonies. Powerful aggressive kleptoparasite.

Flies low over large rivers and lakes, cutting the water surface with the lower bill to catch fish. Resident and partial migrant along large rivers and lakes of sub-Saharan Africa. NT.
