This is the last link for my pics with gulls taken during the vacation on the Black Sea coast (August 30th - September 3rd).

told you it was very hard...correct, cristian. the only trap consisted in looking for its age.

hi geoff,
i'm far from confident with these northern breeders (from a central european viewpoint).
1st looks ok for GBBG (i suppose it had a bulky bill?)
2nd looks more like herring gull to me but i'd have liked to see inner primary pattern.
almost all juv scapulars and weak bill, but: greater coverts and tertials with a lot of white would be odd for LBBG - but i'm not quite sure, ask jan, maybe he's more firm in the IDs of these.
3rd could well be a LBBG (GC and TT pattern ok) but scapulars mostly 2nd generation are strange for graellsii in mid september?
all the best,

hi ody,
it's a 2cy argentatus.
this one too http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kab_xH74v...SDrqwtZGs/s1600/Larus_argentatus_juvenile.JPG is an argentatus 2cy, not juvenile.
this one, a 3cy: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kab_xH74v1s/TJ7BDKCOcCI/AAAAAAAAEno/dCq6iuVz3_0/s1600/Larus_argentatus.JPG is a bit out of the normal as it resembles a bit cachinnans with its advanced plumage, almost like this: http://www.gull-research.org/hg/hg3cy/3cyjulpic02.htm
best ,
edited: correct link to the 3cy.

No, Lou. Only michahellis. I have pics with about 20 individuals, but, in my opinion, they all look good for michahellis. I will upload more pics in the next days...
But I saw thousands of melanocephalus, one or two genei, tens of minutus.
