Hi Guys,
Yesterday, I visited the Eagle hide again, only to find Caspian Gulls instead:))
Before I upload some pictures of ordinary looking birds, let me go ahead and ask you about these ones.
One of them is a 2nd-winter with heavily barred rump. I think, I have never seen this before at this age-group. Maybe a hybrid with HG? I also attached a picture of a bird I consider to be average-looking in this respect.
(Sorry, I wrongly named the pictures as 3rd winter, so I corrected them in the "File comment")
The other seems to be a 1st winter to me but it has moulted P1-P6 already. This is another phenomenon I haven't encountered yet (If I recall it right).
Let me know what you think!
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Gabor
