Lesser Black-backed Gull at Broome tip - Birdforum Discussion Update

[Vivien Rolland <>]

Hi everyone,

Here is the comment of my friend Jean-Yves Frémont, a French Gull expert, about 
the Broome bird. I want to point out that his comments are based on photos 
posted at http://www.pbase.com/wildlifeimages/lesser_black_backed_gull

“I am thinking about a Lesser black-backed Gull Larus fuscus fuscus. (Goéland 
de la Baltique): slender build, rather short legs. R1 Moulting fits well with 
this species, the blackish remiges band as well. The upperpart coloration also 
fits well, taking into account plumage wearing (slightly paler at this time of 
the year). Heuglini would have paler upperparts and would be bulkier.”

Have a great week-end!

Cheers,

Vivien
