Gulls in Germany--Oberlausitz (1 Viewer)

[Tom St]

The photos depict two Larus gulls photographed on 11th May 2025 at Entenschenke in the Oberlausitz in Germany.
According to eBird data, Caspian Gull, European Herring Gull and Yellow-legged Gull all occur in the region.
Many thanks for your help!

2a and 2b are Yellow-legged gulls, yellow legs obvious in 2b. 2c are 2 Caspian gulls, adult on the left (note black band on p5) and 2CY (pale underwing, p10 mirrors) on the right. 2d, 2e and 2f I believe are all adult Caspian as well, long billed, small eyes and quite a streamlined or slim appearance.

Hi Evan. Thanks a lot for your feedback.
The 6 photos show the same 2 individuals (one adult, one not quite adult). I don't know how yellow Caspian Gull legs can get... but the yellow legs visible in 2b belong to one of the gulls visible in the subsequent photos.
