Today were 12 Lesser Black-backed Gulls(Larus fuscus graellsii) sighted by Sveinn Jónsson at Seltjarnarnes close to Reykjavík. They are the first migrants this year in Iceland. This is one day earlier than has been recorded for Lesser Black-backed Gull since 1998.https://notendur.hi.is/yannk/migrants.htm
