Two of this winters 12 Danish Glaucous Gulls (Larus Hyperboreus) one adult and one first winter bird. The young one in the small town of Mosede, 10 miles south of Copenhagen with its tiny harbour in the lame brackish waters of the Øresund, and the adult bird found one cold and blowy Thursday February 16. at the industrial fishing hot house Skagen, situated at the northern top of peninsula Jutland with a direct access to Skagerak and the North Sea.
