Compared to the surrounding Herring Gulls, a relatively pale (white), slightly larger-sized, stouter head gull (always the 2nd one from the right hand side except the last picture, which is now the 1st one from the right).

Date is 2016/05/23.

I'm thinking just a large subadult Herring Gull with worn/bleached feathers.

But what on earth have they done to Nordhavn?? Looks like it's been hit by a volcanic eruption!

Thank you! I confess I was considering Glacous Gull but when I realize the black primary tips the hope is gone, but wonder whether is it a variation or maybe partial albino of a certain large gull sp.

There's a lot of construction going on in Nordhavn, making it not the best scene to see (and lots of dust, too). |:S|
