Fulmars, august 2013

From two locations in Iceland. Also, there's a cormorant and a gull. These are Arctic Fulmars, Fulmaris glacialis. They're tubenosed birds, related to petrels and shearwaters, and (more distantly) to albatrosses, and not at all closely related to gulls despite looking rather similar.
