I've been searching for this couple about every day now and they both seem to have left. The yellow-legged gull was last noted on 26/3 and the caspian on 2/4, both must have left shortly after these dates.

If it was love, it was not everlasting

Indeed. I've been following a presumed female with Thayer's pattern in the neighbourhood and never saw her long-calling in albatross-posture. Some pictures of that bird on: http://vwgvap.waarnemingen.be/soort/photos/937?from=1980-01-01&to=2012-03-31&sex=&id_kleed=0&os=1&id_akt=0&licentie=0&only_rate...

I managed to film 2 albatross long-calls of the caspian gull this noon. 2 times it was followed by a display of the yellow-legged.

For about a week now, there is a 4cy Caspian gull that has accompanied the usual 4cy Yellow-legged gull near the ship lock at Oudenaarde, Belgium. Both have shown sporadicly some long-calls, with the Caspian gull once seen in albatros-posture. I'm not really sure if these birds are male and female. ...

A bird like that was often coming to sleep at Callemoeie, Nazareth during last weeks. Mine has also black restricted to 4 primaries. However the mantle color is rather dark and profile doesn't make me think of Glacous gull. I consider mine as a nothern argentatus as can be seen on picture 369 of "gu...

I finally took some time to put movies of 2 gulls on youtube. 1) one is a gull that I identified as a uncertain Ring-billed gull and reported on waarnemingen.be with some video stills. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci_GSAGTYPU&feature=youtu.be Some details are posted there. http://vwgvap.waarneming...

sorry for the delay

The quality is as very often at this roosting place: low

Just to let you know that I did get an answer last week on this bird. Bird was ringed on 12/6/2005; unfortunately, it was named "herring gull (group) (Larus argent./cachin./michah.)". It was in it's 5th winter, and still gave a certain non-adult impression because of it's bill color and a subtle bro...

Hello, This evening I found a nearly summer-plumaged gull for which, in my opinion, "Black-headed X mediterranean" seems the only possible solution. You can see a (bad) picture of it on: http://vwgvap.waarnemingen.be/waarneming/view/46491919 I've never seen this kind of hybrid, so if anybody disagre...
