Hi Andy,
the two Gulls in front appeared to be Herring Gulls.The bird at the back was obviously large, a male?, it didn`t seem to have the typical YLG head shape and bill profile, more Cach-like at times.Not much to go on I know but what do you think of the visible covert markings?
cheers, Pete.
Hi Andy.
I would stick to YLG on structure and grey scapulars comming in.

Hi Andy, a nice 1stw Mich there! like that bill profile, really distinctive.
if that head & bill profile's distinctive it's back to the drawing board for me!
I only consider the real classic Caspians to have a distinctive profile though I guess I look at far fewer gulls than you guys.
