Glaucous gull youngster, in its second calendar year. One of my favorite bird/gull species. They overwinter in the north of Norway, and having them in town the past few months has been an absolute blessing. Their Dutch name is “Grote Burgemeester” aka “large mayor”, because of their big size and big bossy personality. Definitely a fitting name if you’ve ever seen them in action, they’re tough as hell. Als their Norwegian name is “Polarmåke”/“Polar gull”, matching their scientific name “Larus hyperboreus” (“gull of the high north”), while their English name glaucous gull refers to their color. #birdPhotography #ornithology #birding #gulls
