The population of the great black-backed gull in Iceland is estimated between 15 to 20 thousand couples. I saw them a few times what resulted in this gallery. The great black-backed gull is a bird of a significant size. It weighs about two kilograms with a wingspan exceeding 1.5 meters.

I was lucky to encounter great black-backed gulls several times. They would keep a significant distance though. However, due to their substantial size, I did not have any problems with photographing them. The previous, modest gallery has been completed with some more pictures.
