    Immature gull ID, England

    I am continually baffled by immature large gulls that were all known as Herring Gulls when I was learning my birds many decades ago.

    Caspian gull face

    I am part of a group that catches, ID's, colour-rings and releases gulls on a landfill in Essex. Last Saturday we caught a beautiful adult (probably quite old) Caspian gull. It beautifully illustrated all the classic ID features, and this head shot shows some of them. Orange orbital ring and...
