Glaucous Gulls

Up To Gulls

Iceland Gulls 

The identification of all the birds in this section is contentious. Some gull enthusiasts think that some of them are just pale Herring Gulls, others would explain them as being leucistic. It is my opinion that they all have Glaucous Gull somewhere in their ancestry, even if they are not necessarily 1st generation hybrids.

Rudy Offereins and Harry Lehto have pictures of similar birds here and here.
Also see here on the Norwegian Gull Page.

There is no consensus as to what the true provenance of these birds is.
