Photos were taken 4 weeks ago in Warnemunde/Germany (near Rostock), it is probably a local roof-top breeder.
Nice yellow legs...

Of course I know about possible roof-top breeding of mich. :)
Such brigth yellow legs are very exceptiomal indeed in Herring Gulls, but occurs sometimes. Also a solid P5 subterminal band.
But note the pattern of P10, of P9 and the more orange coloured gonys-spot/orbital-ring.
I did hear any voice.

A (breeding) michahellis in Baltic Germany? Would be great for faunistics. But I think, it is a omissus in their finest, but rare type.
For other opinions - lets discuss about!
