In this links you can find a 2ยบ winter bird photographed in november 2008 and other bird photographed in November 2009 in Madrid. I think that can be the same bid, but I can not identify.

Hi.

I remember this gull from back in Nov. 2008, which was discussed in several forums at the time - here:

http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php ... adrid+gull

and here:

Looks like the same gull in 2009.

So what do others think?

I almost 100% sure that is the same bird.

Well, I think the discussion has ended into consensus about the ID for most people (if they didn't fall asleep). ;-)

Found some pictures in my mailbox, made by Delfin...
Cropped it a bit and resized it to 800px. Delfin will send more probably...

One picture is from 2008, one from 2009.

And the quiz is: match the picture to the right year! ;-)
