Warbler Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 These photos were taken in early July in tbilisi, Georgia. I thought maybe Yellow-legged or Caspian. It looks like 2 different species. Thanks for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbler Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Georgia is on the eastern shore of the Black Sea. Tbilisi is its capital. I'm finding the gulls difficult to ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Maybe @akiley can help. I would guess Yellow-legged Gulls...or maybe Armenian Gulls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 1 looks good for Yellow-legged. 2 maybe Caspian. 3 is really tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixfros Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The first looks like an Armenian Gull to me: dark eye, extensive black on the wing with only one window on front edge For the second, I would choose Caspian over Yellow-legged due to bill descriptions in "Birds of Europe"; for Caspian, "Bill long and evenly narrow with attenuated point, lacking marked gonys angle." For Yellow-legged: "Heavy bill with strongly-curved tip and well-marked gonys angle in most...." Not willing to make a guess on the third :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
