Are they all Larus michahellis? Is it normal for them to have such short p10 at this time of year ?

best wishes

all michahellis but the rightmost bird in pic 5 which looks like a 2cy armenian gull. but i'm far from sure - do you have more pics with that bird, filippos? maybe in flight?
and yes, by the beginning of october, p10 (and in adult birds p9) are still growing.
 
Thanks guys.
Lou, I also think that one should be an armenicus.
Here's another photo of it, taken a few seconds later.
