Larus glaucoides
A pale gull of the north Atlantic, the Iceland Gull breeds in the high Arctic and winters south of the Maritime Provinces only in small numbers. The American race known as "Kumlien's Gull" is one of the most variable of all gulls in plumage characters, and no two seem to have the same amount of dark on the wingtips. (Cornell)
At least a half dozen of these Iceland Gulls were around the Jodrey Fish Pier today. The first pictures are an immature, and the last 2 pics are an adult.
