Photographed a few days ago in Cyprus. They were part of a large flock of mainly Caspian and Armenian Gulls but also a few Yellow-legged, Heuglin's and Baltic. I'm not sure about these two
Thanks Neil. I was thinking along the same lines but the head looks a bit square and the bill a bit too long and pointed for typical Armenian. I can't think of what else it can be though...
1 is either a 4cy steppe gull or a hybrid (heuglini x cachinnans - thing), hard to tell. definitely something from central asia, maybe taiga belt of russia west of urals.
2 maybe armenian but i'd have a hard time to exclude a YLG here!
it seems that barabensis should be put on the list. recently a large number have been ssen in port said, egypt, so they do migrate back through the eastern mediterranen.
