Re: Putative Heuglin's Gull in Germany
Perhaps a non adult or a non breeding heuglini (if now that is the one), would have finished it´s primary moult at this date. Normally (if such a word can be used in this case), adult or near adults would be in primary moult - with variable scoring at this date. The rather narrow dark mark on p5 and...

Re: 3cy heug in Tulcea
Hi all. Some of the 3cy LBBG's in the article "moult variability in 3rd calendar-year LBBG's" written by the gents here, have reasonable fresh adult like coverts. However , the second gen coverts are strongly worn. Seems that second generation coverts in heuglini are fresher at this time of year, if...

Re: primary pattern in "eastern" michahellis
Hi Lou. Apparently more variable than expected. I wonder if the explanation is soley due to geographical variation - so to speak. Here´s another one - a swiss one I think. http://www.ornitho.ch/index.php?m_id=54&mid=96706 Note in this one the lack of a complete black mark on p5, seems to be only a d...

Re: 3cy heug in Tulcea
One can see Mars idea of worn adult like coverts as oposed to fresher in heuglini at this time of year. I would of course also agree to the difficulties of judging grey tones from images. Inspite of that, everyone doe´s it anyway, because sometimes it´s the only clue there is to judge the probable s...

Re: Interested 2CY YLG from Poland
A strange looking (retarded) 2cy michahellis, 2cy at least by pale eye, rounded primarytips and tetials - with such a heavy bill and dark grey feathers.
Agree with Theo that there´s some GBBG jizz to it, but...
No doubt, someone would clear the way

Re: Het H word - hybrids from Poland
Hi Wolfgang.
Interesting to see 4P60 again. Would be nice to see an open wing shot.

Gull England 12 Feb 2009
Might as well throw in another gull for ID. Smaller than accompanying michahellis and argenteus, closer in size to delawarensis, which it obviously is not.
Paler than graellsii, all according to the observer.
