Dutch 1CY Lesser Black-backed Gull. Differences with lusitanius may be subtle, but note later moult scheme in Dutch bird.

9CY r[393:G] ringed June 18 2010 and always around since in this limited area.
As in quite a few adults on this trip in November, it seems to be rather heavy in the head streaking.

r[1X6:G] together with some friends. Larger, top centre bird with obvious advanced moult scheme should be labeled 'Med micha', but no ring on this individual.
In r[1X6:G] note broad silvery spacing on GC and notching in tertials, both features commonly found in Herring Gull.
