Slender-billed Gulls? (Egypt, Sharm el Sheikh) (1 Viewer)

[JarJar]

Hi there, I rend to Slender-billed Gulls - am I right? The color of the bills irritates me a little bit.

Seen in Egypt, Sinai, Sharm el Sheikh, sewage plant, 17.04.15

Thanks a lot,
Christoph

Yes Slender billed gulls, the bills will darken to a dark red as they come into summer plumage, the adults that is.

They all look like 2nd cal birds, certainly in the flight shot.
