HG or YLG ? Italy
Hello, this one has been recorded last year in March. Head and bill suggests HG but I'm not sure about the coverts pattern. I've never seen brown coverts like these in a hg. It's more of a YLG pattern. Besides, it shows a third generation tertial. Isn't that too advanced for a 3cy hg? Mantle...- balex78

YLG or LBBG? NW Italy
I sometimes find it hard to separate YLG and LBBG in first winter plumage, especially at this time of year. This has a bulky structure but it has an overall dark appearance and scapulars are dark centered with big black spot and pale edges...- balex78

Possible Baltic Gull? NW Italy
Hello, small head, small and slender bill, elongated and slim build, very long primary projection, small tips on primaries and quite large mirror on p10. It all makes me think of a Larus fuscus fuscus. Could it be a Baltic? In Italy is not so rare during migration. A few individual are spotted...- balex78
