Not quite as pale as the bird on 14th, but still obviously different to normal female hibernans.

Only stopped a short while but called a lot! Stunning in full summer plumage.

Russian Common Gull, Derbyshire, Ogston Reservoir, 12/03/2023


Other than a lightly streaked head this bird showed most of the criteria for 'heinei' ie unmarked white underparts and rump/tail base, bright pink bill base and contrasting dark trailing edge to a white underwing but is probably more likely to be an intergrade 'canus' / 'heinei' than pure 'heinei'. Shame...

It's unusual to get 2 adults together - and feeding in an ornamental crabapple tree for a change
