Larus glaucoides · Icelandic: Bjartmáfur
A gentle-looking gull that, despite its name, doesn't actually breed in Iceland.
Habitat: Coasts, harbours and rubbish tips | Season: Oct–Apr
Often mixes with Glaucous and Herring Gulls at harbours; graceful, buoyant flight.
Despite its name, the Iceland Gull does not breed in Iceland at all — it nests in Greenland and Arctic Canada, only visiting Iceland to winter.
