Iceland (and Greenland) confirmation (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
The first two are last week's in the South of Iceland. The third one is an old picture taken in SE Greenland in the summer.
I would say:
1. Great Skua
2. Iceland gull
3. Glaucous gull (of this I'm most uncertain).

Thank you!

Dark phase Arctic Skua, and two Iceland Gulls for me.

The gulls look dainty a don' t have the 'mean' look of Glaucous - Although I thought Iceland was far the more scarce in the summer
Iceland gull is ironically much scarcer than glaucous gull in Iceland in summer but does occur in small numbers
