Hi,

I found a few more gull pictures that need a closer look. These were taken on Heimaey of the Westman Islands in Iceland in late June, 2019.

My thinking is that 1-3 are Common Gull, and 4 is Glaucous Gull?

What do you think?

Thanks,
Howard

None are Common Gull- this is smaller + doesn't have a red bill spot.

Agree with Glaucous Gull for 4.

1-3 Lesser Black-back.
