1st winter HG or LBBG

Post by Steve Klasan » Sun Feb 14, 2010 9:39 pm

Hello together,
today I got some pictures of this Gull. I’m still not sure whether it is a HG or a LBBG.
In the field it appeared very long-winged, small-billed and altogether relatively small.
Although it’s not that dark as LBBG’s are in this age my guess is LBBG. Or just a slender HG?

Thanks for your comments.

Greetings from Germany,
Steve

I agree. Note the tertials and scapulars.
