Some of the Iceland and Kumlien's Gulls present today - click to enlarge.
While most of Europe has been freezing the temperatures where on the Faroes have been high – up to 10 C. But yesterday a minor storm from NW hit the islands and now the ground is covered with snow once again. But it lightens up everything and photographing is more easy.
Two adult Kumlien's Gulls
I checked the harbour today. About 50 Iceland Gulls were present including a stunning 19 Kumlien’s Gulls. And there were several well-marked adults among them.

And when a gull like this one just flies by you just tell yourself: That didn't happen 🙂

Hi Rodmund
Normally I do not use any filter at all. The pics above are taken with a filter.

Hehe… I forgot the magic word “not”…Sorry.
The pics above are NOT taken with a filter. I do crop the pics and adjust lightness and sharpness sometimes.
