  • Ivory Gull - Pagophila eburnea - Juvenile. Length 41-45cm. An elegant and distinctive high Arctic gull. Adult has pure white plumage and black legs. The rounded head, dark eye and dainty bill create an almost dove-like appearance. At close range, note the bluish base and yellow tip to the bill. Juvenile is similar, but the face is grubby-looking and the wings are adorned with neat black spots. The Ivory Gull is typically discovered in the dead of winter and records from our region (a couple in a good year) have a northerly bias. The species often feeds on beached seal and porpoise carcasses in our region.

  • Snowy Owl Nyctea scandiaca (L 55-65cm). As befits its snowy white plumage, this huge and unmistakable bird hails from the Arctic and typically favours tundra-like northern or upland habitats. In the past, the species has tried to nest on Shetland but these days its status is that of an occasional visitor. Snowy Owls are often active during the day but even when perched, the sheer size and mainly white plumage make it conspicuous. Males have essentially pure white plumage but females and immature birds are marked with grey barring.
