Rare plumage for LBBG?

Post by Javier Marchamalo » Thu Jan 20, 2011 4:44 pm

Yesterday I saw this Gull at L'Albufera, Valencia, Spain, Mediterranean coast of Spain.
I belive that is one second winter, but never I saw one LBBG of this age with this plumage.
Some suggestion?.

This 2cy LBBG was ringed as a pullus in IJmuiden.

Here's an almost identical bird photographed in southern England in February 2004.
