Fulmarus glacialis · Icelandic: Fýll
A gull-like glider with a secret weapon if you get too close to its nest.
Habitat: Sea cliffs and offshore waters | Season: All year (colonies Mar–Sep)
Glides effortlessly along cliff faces on stiff wings. If disturbed at the nest, can spit a foul-smelling oil at intruders.
Fulmars are related to albatrosses, not gulls, and can live for 40 years or more.
