    I agree Lou, it looks odd and that bill band is very well defined. On the other hand it's the wrong shape for Ring-billed and unfortunately i have never seen a pic of a proven hybrid between Common and R-b, even if it is one of the more likely hybrids. The black only runs to p4 by the way...

    hi all, nice to see that we're on the same page pretty quickly. Thanks to Ludovic's camerawork (remember, the bird was in view for 15-20 seconds!) we can all sit back and be surprized by the fact that Med Gull can be a pitfall on the road to first wing Franklin's Gull. I'm sure that it is a Med...

    fly-by Northwest France, March 18, 2008 hi all, discussion about the bird mentioned in Nicolas's mail pasted below is going on several id fora but in case you've missed it, here's your chance. What species (and more importantly why) do you think this is? If you have an opinion, share it with...

    and as you all assumed, timing is related to age. Here is a pic of the same GBBG now withouth it's red E703 ring. Almost finished primary moult in mid november 2007, the red arrow on the inset points to the tip of p10. cheers, pim

    well, i really thought the mirror on p10 was far to small for a 3cy Caspian... pim

    assuming that the pic was taken in 2007 i can still call it a 3cy argentatus. I don't see that much wrong with it for L.a. argentatus, although the whitish head combined with that shawl gives it a cach-like look. Bulky bird, snouty look, limited covert/tertial moult small mirror on p10. cheers, pim

    you're right of course, typical brainfart. For a long time all i knew about heuglini came from the pics in Visa Rauste's Limicola paper but Buzun already wrote that only 5% had the black limited to p10-5... Apart from that, do we know what winters in Thailand? I know next to nothing about gulls...

    Hi Jan, first of all, your a hard man to get hold of since your PM box is full, i may have clogged it up.. Peters gull: i guess nobody really knows what winters in Thailand but this one looks odd for a Western heuglini, i would not have expected black on p4 but i'm sure one of the GRO members...

    the first link still shows the dreaded "Forbidden" message. the second one is odd, well the caption to the pic is. I have no experience with larger NA-Canadian gulls but it look like a second cycle Western Gull (wymani) with a third cycle bill. Amazing what you can learn from a book. I wish...
