Re: Glaucous,Kumlien or Iceland Gull

I agree with Iceland. I'm no good at ageing Gulls but for me this bird isn't barrel chested enough to be a Glaucose plus the beak looks too short as well.


Don't forget Debs the Iceland Gull ranges from 52 to 60cm and that is a fair size difference if you have been looking at birds at the lower end of the scale then see one at the top end.
