 [a juvenile european herring gull, gråtrut in swedish, standing on ice which are located in stockholm strömmen. strömmen is a patch of fast - flowing water in stockholm city, which is the water hole for many birds that stay over in stockholm the entire winter. the ice rarely freezes over there, wherehas they can still fish/eat plants from that location]

Notes: Some comments on this bird, with many thanks to Jörgen and Hans: “On the 2nd of July, while searching for the Steller’s, I came across this adult large gull with dull yellow legs. I was looking for the eider, so I just took a few pictures and moved along. After seeing and photographing the Steller’s at close range, I went back for the gull to try to see the open wings but it was no longer there… As you can see in the pictures, it had a very pale iris and a very brightly coloured bill (colours +/-realistic in the photos) that I think are wrong for Caspian. Also, the structure doesn’t seem quite right for Caspian to me. It does have a small head but maybe within the range of female argentatus or even michahellis. In some of the pictures there seems to be extensive white proximally on the underside of P10 (which would be good for Caspian or Caspian x ?) but the white can actually be on the basis of another more inner feather… (don’t you think?) Bill looks wrong for michahellis (subtle gonys, red restricted to lower mandible) and leg colour too (very dull yellow). Also, it probably would have to be a small female lusitanius to have such a small head and slender bill. The orbital ring was very bright though (more reddish than orange I think)… Do you agree it is one of those yellow legged argentatus, or do you think it may be something else? I have more pictures (10 in total but none with open wings)…” (Luís Gordinho, 08-Jul-2013) “It looks like a HG to me! Structural as well as visible charachters.” (Jörgen Bernsmo, 09-Jul-2013) “I´m also leaning towards HG but head and bill shape may point towards some Caspian influence?” (Hans Larsson, 18-Jul-2013)

Rafael Matias: E a "ssp" omissus? Eu: Sim, é a essa "variedade" que nos estamos a referir. Como sabes (o teu ssp entre aspas assim sugere), vários autores não consideram "omissus" uma subespécie válida mas antes uma variedade de argentatus. Foi essa a opção seguida na 2ª edição do Collins e mesmo a lista da Dutch Birding de 2013 p/o WP não inclui essa "subespécie". A variedade "omissus" supostamente nidifica no Leste do Báltico e no norte da Fino-Escandinávia. De qualquer modo acho que tens razão, o título das fotos não era explícito, por isso alterei-o. Obrigado pela achega.
