Ducks & gull, Wismar, North Germany (1 Viewer)

[spocki]

Hi,

I need some help, please. The first duck was on a freshwater lake in the south of Wismar, the other to photos were taken on the island of Poel (Baltic sea near Wismar).
The gull I think is either Lesser or Great Black-Backed, but I don't know how to tell the difference.

Thanks,
Kristina

I'd say:
greater scaup (female)
common teal (male, female just on the left, eurasian wigeons and shelducks in the background, curlew in the front left part of the picture)
GBB gull. bulky, really dark, white head, too much white at the end of the primaries and tertials exposed.
cheers
