This is the first of five different Iceland Gulls seen together with one 3cy putative Kumlien's, four 2cy and one 3cy Glaucous and one 2cy Viking Gull in Hvide Sande Harbour in one day...
Another photo taken January 15 of the same individual can be seen here. Although slightly stippled, the pattern of pale and dark in the primaries is not matching a classic Kumlien’s Gull pattern. However, whether the characters are considered sufficient to claim a Kumlien's in Europe I will leave unanswered and put it down as an Iceland Gull for now.
