Hi Tom,
Here's an image of one: see

Also, I saw you at James M's talk, and I meant to say hello - I don't think
we've had a chance to chat. I was half thinking I'd see you at Lake Tutchewop
on Sunday. I ticked the bird Saturday evening. On Sunday morning I went birding
around Goschen and Tresco, and then briefly went back to Lake Tutchewop, where
I'd heard you'd seen the bird (well done). Must catch up for some birding
sometime. Any targets?
Cheers mate,
Tim

Subject: Silver Gull head-markings
Wonder if anyone can help? At the weekend I went to Lake Tuchewop in
Victoria to look for the Long-billed Dowitcher and arrived at the southern
end of the lake on Saturday evening just before it got dark. Whilst
searching for the wader I noticed an immature gull with a classic
non-breeding head-pattern as a Black-headed Gull, (two small dark-patches)
however the other birders present assured me that it was just a juvenile
Silver Gull (....and it probably was!)
I then realised that I've hardly bothered to look at juvenile Silver Gulls
and never seen this feature in the past. Does anyone have imagery (or know
of some web-links) of juvenile Silver Gull which show head-markings? All
the ones that I've checked so far don't show any.
Any assistance gratefully received,
Tom
