Heuglins (?) Gulls at Nam Sang Wai

2008-02-03 (Tuesday)
ID MKIIN + 800mm

We won't be practising our Gull ID skills on the Mai Po tideline for a while, so here are some shots from NSW.

As usual, I'd welcome any ID discussion !

Excellent shots, John.

All appear to be Heuglin's apart from the uppermost, which due to relatively paler grey of the upperparts and the large p10 mirror could be a hybrid/intergrade between Vega and Heuglin's.

Great shots John, your upper most shot appears to be of the same bird that I photographed several weeks earlier. Thanks Geoff for ID
