Dear Eric

Pic 10.  The Red-necked Grebe was swimming away from its chick.  It can see while (pretending) sleeping!
Pic 16b.  Thank you for pointing the difference out.  Id by bill size is too hard for me.  After some reading, I notice that Great Black-backed has pink legs and Lesser has yellow legs.  The following picture (same individual) confirms your id:


Wider view of pic 16b

I bet the right gull (enlarged picture below) is Great Black-backed though can't see its legs


This must be Lesser Black-backed Gull as having yellow legs (different bird as in pic 16)


Thanks.  Samuel
