Interesting 1st winters...

This very dark bird needs more examination, I will appriciate any comments...
Comparing with a typical YLG:
November 3, Her Har.

Armenian and more...

The bird above confused me but it is most probably only another YLG...
But the adult in the right of next pics looked fine for Armenian (Nov, 3 2010):
Closer:
Another "Armenian like" bird, again most probably YLG one!:
And a more "canditate" Armenian, large amount of black on wings, more typical head and bill, more dark than YLG behind:
And an intermedius type one :

A second winter Heuglin's ?

Baltic and Heuglins were present on November 9 in Her harbour, although the strong south winds. An interesing 2nd-winter gull also present:
Comparing with Yellow-legged type birds:
Is that a Heuglin's?

The 10th International Gull Meeting will be placed on Herakleion?


Last wintering Gulls

Five interesting birds together, 18 Mar.

To the left side a 4 cal year Caspian:
Next one from left a small dark one, probably a Baltic?:
A big one, probably Heuglin's:
A little one, Armenian?:
And the 15 cal year one male Baltic again:
Differences in length of legs:
Three birds on flight: One with heavy primary moult in both winds:
Another (michahellis?) on heavy primary moult:
And a whitish first winter-2nd summer bird, just a michahellis?:
A 2nd-winter/3rd summer? fuscus type bird, probably intermedius, 17 Mar:
