Adult Baltic Gull / Larus fuscus fuscus, Westkapelle - sea dike (The Netherlands) on 06 October 2009Comment at picture(s)Baltic GullE-mail picture(s) Baltic GullPrint picture(s) Baltic Gull
One of the unringed Baltic Gulls seen by us on the sea dike of Westkapelle this year. 2009 was a very good year for Baltic Gulls on Westkapelle, because we recorded one colour-ringed adult from Finland, two colour-ringed (adult and 4cy) from northern Norway and several unringed individuals. The unringed adult Baltic Gull on the pictures above shown an example with seems fine with typical birds from Finland, the only thing that miss on this individual is a ring!

All primaries (p1-p10) are old worn unmoulted feathers and there's nearly no contrast between black on the primaries. Note also the difference in shade of grey between the other Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
