Any comments on this bird? Seems rather bulky for Iceland!

Among the the Herring gulls on the ground - it looks even slightly bigger than any of them. Was that the impression you had?

It is a big brute, but it looks ok for Iceland Gull to me.

It surley do.
It would be a male in any case but if the image shows the correct perspective - it would anyway be the largest Iceland I have laid eyes on
