Hi all :
Today 20.7.2011 at Meirás beach, A Coruña, Spain, I have sighted an odd gull.
I think this is a larus fuscus, but too much dark for a 1s bird... A dirty bird?? (did not appear to be dirty on the beach... But....).
look at the heavy barred undertail coverts (The uppertail coverts and rump were typical).
Best
Wishes
Antonio
