Hi,

is this a 3rd winter herring gull or a yellow legged gull?

Thanks
Alex

Given the patterns of the coverts, amongst others, I vote for micha.

Please can you explain better? Sorry i'm not so expert. What covert pattern should it have to be a herring gull? What are the other characteristics that made you think about YLG instead of HG?

Thanks a lot in advance
Alex
