The first one especially looks very small-billed and the detail at the wing tips matches closely with pictures I've got of Mew Gull from Japan, though maybe the black is too extensive.   I think the final picture is in fact a Vega Gull - the mantle appears too pale for Slaty-backed, and the bill still appears too fine.     I may well be wrong, but hopefully someone who knows gulls better will be able to help us out on this.   Mike Turnbull Logged Charles Lam BBS Member BBS God Happy Birding     Gender: Posts: 102 Re: Slaty-backed Gull@Korea « Reply #2 on: Feb 21st, 2006, 12:38pm » Quote Modify on Feb 20th, 2006, 9:32pm, miket wrote: Are these all of the same bird?
