Re: Pale 3cy Herring Gull?
hi armin, welcome and nice to have you here on gr-talk!
yes, that's exactly what your gull is - a nice 3cy argentatus. i'm not in the position to argue about subspecific level, but the extent of brown marked scaps might indicate a slightly more northern bird? nice pale bird with contrasting pattern.
