I've got some doubts about this gull's ID. Although it shows some YLG characteristics its feet seem rather pale ,lighter and with a yellowish tone compared to the herring gulls of the same age- but the picture doesn't seem to show this in a right way- and a lot paler compared to the YLG in the background. It also has some distinct streaking in the neck. Is this possible on YLG or is this just some odd looking HG? I'm still busy on the metal ring, but any comments are appreciated as I'm a novice to gull identification.
kind regards,
Jan

Many thanks! Any good advice on how you can retrieve the origin of a bird based on such a partial ring code?Ies Meulmeester wrote:Sempach ring from Switzerland..! No doubt about the identification of this 3cy Yellow-legged Gull!

Is Switzerland the only country using clip rings on YLGs?

Hi Ruud and all:
