The kelp gull is usually found in the southern hemisphere and coastal parts of West Africa.
An extremely rare bird has been spotted at a reservoir in Cambridgeshire.Dozens of birdwatchers flocked to Grafham Water when the kelp gull was first spotted in 2022"This bird was actually here two years go and briefly turned up last year just for one morning," he said.Adult kelp gulls have black backs and wings, and very little white in the flight feathers.
"It's a difficult place to see because it's a vast reservoir but I think there's a good chance I'll see it again." An Anglian Water spokesperson said: “We’re delighted to learn that the kelp gull has returned once again to Grafham Water this summer – especially since it’s a rare species not often spotted in the northern hemisphere.
