2cy Caspian?

Post by vuelvepiedras » Fri Dec 24, 2010 4:33 pm

Hi there,

this bird was photographed just a couple of hours ago, at Alcazar de San Juan landfill, Spain.

IMO looks like a 2cy Caspian Gull Larus cachinnans, but further opinions welcomed.

Thanx for your comments! Happy Christmas dudes!

It could be a Caspian Indeed, but I'm not able to rule out a Yellow-legged...

The bill looks a bit heavy and short to my eyes, and the upperparts seem rather dark grey.
I would not rule out Yellow-legged Gull indeed...
