Here's the context for the title, in image form! Cutting-edge journalism from the Reykjavík Grapevine. (The article in question was an explanation that a popular insult amongst Icelandic kids literally translates to 'walking poo'.)

I did look up information on the Iceland gull in case we spotted that specifically, but apparently it's only in Iceland during winter; I'm not sure which gull varieties we saw. (I mistook the Arctic terns for black-headed gulls at first.) Eiders are lovely!
