Question Glaucous,Kumlien or Iceland Gull

Sorry

This is going to be 1 of 3 posts, 2 IDs and a little story of my lunch time walk.

I went for a walk around the Harbour and there were about 30 to 40 gulls circling near the fishing boats. I got excited when I saw a white one, it was quite large, bigger I think than an Iceland Gull (see those lots around here). The only problem was it was windy, I had my hair down so had to hold it in my teeth to keep it out of the way and the gulls were swooping as fast as speed boats!!

I have 3 not good picture, one with a wing cut off, one with its head cut off and one whole but further away into the sun. Honestly you try and take them in those conditions, I nearly chocked on my hair and I have a lot of it and got blasted by a truck trying to back into the cargo bay!!

What do you think out there, narrowed it down to these 3 choses, it did seem quite large and aggressive, the Iceland gulls I have seen so far seem timid and loners. Maybe me wishfull thinking.
