Iceland Gull (Larus glaucoides), 5cy+, 5.2.2012, Hirtshals Harbour #2



This is considered to be an Iceland Gull though this is not to say that it is not a pale-winged Kumlien's Gull. It has without doubt some rather dark peppered eyes.

There were three almost identical near-adult Iceland Gulls in the harbour. Luckily they were all seen at the same time late in the afternoon; however, if you look careful and compare with this and this you will also see that there are slight differences in the extent of their winter shawl.
