Hi, I've just come back from a little trip to Istanbul on the first week of January. This city has a ton of gulls, most of which were definitely Yellow Legged and Black Headed with a couple of Commons and Mediterranean in the mix.
A few gulls still puzzle me though and I'd like your opinion on these...
1)
Caspian (the bird on the right, both pics same bird) ?
2)
My initial thoughts were Armenian until I saw the pale iris (but maybe this varies ?), so maybe just Yellow Legged (same bird on both pics, it's the one on the left in the second pic).
3)
Probably Yellow Legged but something felt odd when I saw it (bird in the background).
Thanks !
