Re: 4 birds: pure Caspians or...?!
The 4th set of photos are way too poor, but the other three birds look like normal Caspian Gulls to me. As a remarkable coincidence, I came across PNKA myself today!

salut alain,

Re: 2cy cachinnans ?
actually, having a look at it again on the big PC screen - can't really stick to my initial statement that it is a YLG...it looks too much cachi-like on plumage and there would be the chance of an oddie with dark underwing and short bill - maybe influenced by tatus genes...

Re: 2cy cachinnans ?
yes, I have seen it in micha although only once. such birds are difficult and a lot of other features should be checked. rectrices seem to be all 2nd gen., right?
