    Two more large white-headed gulls from N. Oman

    Thank you, Lou. I thought Heuglini for the first too, but am not at all sure about the second. It seems to have one rather short p10, but the other primaries look worn to me. Both birds were isolated from the nearby Steppe Gulls, so hard to get a direct comparison, but they looked relatively...

    Large white-headed gull, N. Oman

    How flattering! (For me!) But I don't think Stéphane would have had much trouble with this ID, even though he's more into reptiles than gulls lately. Christopher

    Large white-headed gull, N. Oman

    Not really, Omar, there are hundreds of Steppe Gulls down here. I was thinking more in terms of Tamyrensis - I vaguely remember somebody somewhere saying that light-winged birds of this type were probably nominate Cachninnans, but this looks nothing like the Cachinnans I'm used to seeing in...

    Large white-headed gull, N. Oman

    I'd be grateful for any comments on this bird. From the moult it ought to be Heuglin's, but the wing looks very pale to me. C

    Comment by 'Momo' in media 'Black-faced ibis'

    Thank you very much - I have quite a few of this little fight, but this is the only one where all three birds were looking in my direction.

    Mallards in Central NY State

    As I understand it, the main reason for the eclipse plumage is that male mallards need to render themselves inconspicuous while moulting their flight feathers during the summer. I'm not sure they mate now (the eggs are laid in early spring), but they are certainly starting to form couples. C
