Common Gull. Ssp heinei? (1 Viewer)

[ArturDziadkiewicz]

Hello! What do you think about this ComG seen in a large group of gulls (ComG+BHG+HGs). Unfortunately no flight photo. Has it any features for heinei? Bird seen in Beka, Northern Poland, 3rd Jan 2022.

Hello,
not an answer to your bird, and I am quite sure, pictures of the open wing are needed.

But I just wanted to mention the very good and interesting pictures of Russian Common Gulls here:

Galeria fotografii | CLANGA.com

Two questions I am interested in:

• was this taxon added recently to the Clanga-gallery?
• why was it placed in the "Rare and scarce birds"-section? No offense or questioning this decission, just a question. But I dont know how to write it in other words (non-native speaker the usual excuse)

Maybe someone here can answer them? Thanks
