    Algarve Lark

    The reason I posted the first pic was that it was more side on. The second two, have the face tilted away somewhat, which would make the bill appear shorter.

    Cook Strait New Zealand, 6th March

    From a recent holiday - well off patch for me so working from a Guidebook. Initial thought Sooty Shearwater, but bill too pale? So maybe Flesh footed Shearwater, but no evidence of flesh coloured feet. So maybe Westland Petrel? Stuck. Assistance appreciated.

    New Zealand Shearwater

    Taken off the ferry near Picton yesterday. Saw what looked like a Shearwater among a group of red billed gulls. Suspect Huttons or Fluttering. Help appreciated. Have included a pic with gulls in for size comparison

    Algarve Gull

    Taken in the Port in Sagres on a week or so ago. Is this a (pink legged) Yellow Legged Gull, or a Herring Gull?

    Algarve Gull

    Taken this morning at Port do Baleeira in Sagres. My opinion is Great Black Backed, based on size (2nd pic has Yellow Legged (?) in front as size comparator), but Gulls not my forte so would appreciate confirmation/correction. Thanks.
