Caspian Gull L. cachinnans
This 1st
winter Caspian Gull was photographed on 27 November 1999 at the VAM
rubbish-dump near Wijster in the Netherlands and is probably the same bird as
in the top picture on this page.
As can be
seen in the two pictures above the underwing of a
Caspian Gull does not necessarily have to be completely white. It can show some
dark edges to the coverts and some barring on the axillaries. Note also the
obvious wingpanel in the picture on the right.
