Common Gull ssp. ID, Newcastle upon Tyne 6/11/18 (1 Viewer)

Would be keen to hear from those with experience of the subspecies, their thoughts on the IDs of two individual Common Gulls that have dropped in at an urban patch that doesn't usually get any.

First individual is attached in this post. In the pic with two Commons it's on the right.

Further pics of second individual attached in this post. In first post it's the Common on the left.

Thank you!

Which park? Might go and check it out


Suspect it'll need better light, and better pics (and probably a DNA sample) for subspecies ID!

Exhibition Park, Michael.

I've read a bit now and see you tend to need biometrics etc.
