 Another "dirty" YLG, adult:

A subadult presumed Steppe Gull barabensis with YLG:

Immature case, 3rd winter YLG:

The same subadult Steppe Gull barabensis"

 HG, adult male with YLG:

Two cases of HGs the left is the same individual with above large male. The right is really small, female:

2nd -winter YLG:

And finally two pics of a 1st winter, most probably Armenian:

Wintering Gulls just arrived in harbour! 11 Oct 2012.

Caspian, Baltic, LBBG, Heuglin's and most probably Armenian are among them !
Today the birds were very nerved and it was difficult to take good pictures but i got a few!

A difficult gull (a) looks as CG but with lot of black underwing... in front of a Heuglin's:

 Another problematic one (b) comparing with YLG looks a bit more dark. Steppe or something else?:

 The (b) Gull alone, probably subadult:

 Larus heuglini:

 the (b) Gull with a most probably 1st w YLG:

 The (a) Gull:

 A 1st w (YLG I suppose) with a stick in mouth...

 Two Gulls, 1st w and 2nd w that I think are both Armenian Gulls:

 The 1st w Armenian like:

 The (a) Gull with heuglini and michahellis:

The 2nd w most probably Armenian Gull with an adult YLG.

 Heuglin's with a bird that I need to age and more! CG or YLG? :

 These 4 birds all different taxa? left the (b) possible Steppe, then 2nd w Armenian, CG and HG:

 The 2nd w Armenian:

A good start of winter season!
