There were 3 birds that I was unsure of during our trip to Skåne in the far south of Sweden from 4th-9th April.
There was also 1 other bird that I was able to identify quite easily but that I think may be of interest. I also a little uncertain of the correct terminology.
1. Some kind of duck. Female Wigeon perhaps?
2., Wood or Green Sandpiper (or something else)
3. More ducks, a pair this time. Gadwall?
4. My heart raced when I saw this beautiful white gull but I quickly realized that it was another white Black-headed Gull. There was a large flock.
I want to call it a leucistic Black-headed Gull but I remember reading somewhere that the term is overused and it is much rarer than most people think.
I think it its appropriate here and I've certainly never seen another gull like this one but I'm curious to know for sure.
