L. f. fuscus? (Zürich, Switzerland)

[eric christen]

Hi

I could observe an interesting gull in Küsnacht near Zürich from the 13th of October until the 17th of November. Two of our gull experts think it might be a Baltic Lesser Black-Backed Gull. Unfortunately they only saw the pictures.

Can you confirm the L. f. fuscus?

Thanks a lot

Eric

Yes, on moult timing and upperparts this should be fuscus fuscus. I think a bird that has escaped Morten's attention in N Norway.
