Here is another group of fuzzy photos. There were two gulls. I think one at least is an adult armenian gull but the lack of any white on the wing tips in the flight photo and the colour of the legs make me wonder (as does my inexperience in gulls more generally). Even though the flight photo is quite fuzzy I would have thought any white mirrors would have been visible. Armenian is the default species here, especially at this time of year.
While the legs seem better for lesser black-back gull, I would have thought white mirrors would have definitely been visible. Also, I was thinking that the forehead slope was better for LBBG, though I actually have no idea if that is at all helpful in iding which gull it might be.
thank you in advance for your assistance.
