It is pretty funny that the images of the Iceland gull go to the site after more than a year after they were completed. They were taken in Iceland. While shooting glaucous gulls bathing we did not notice that to the right an Iceland gull floated on the water. Cezary pointed it out looking through my website. Thank you, Cezary, for the tip, because this is my 551st  bird species presented on my website. Too bad, we cannot turn back the clock, I would take more pictures. Well, the gallery has a symbolic, documentary display. It must be set, because this gull is a very rare guest in Poland, and who knows when or if we would have a chance to take better pictures. This gull habitats are in North America and Greenland. Its weight is about one kilogram with the  wingspan less than of 1.5 meter.

And there was an opportunity to take pictures of the Iceland gull. This time it was not by accident, I was looking for and I managed to find it three times. Unfortunately, it was always at a considerable distance, but the resulting photos are good enough to close another documentary gallery on my site.
