Hopefully though this post will encourage some more observers to start looking closely at juvenile gulls. I do find YLG most obvious early in the season as most juv Herrings are pretty dark, I find these become paler fairly quickly as late summer turns into autumn.

One other useful feature are those lovely long, pale pink legs (only really relevant in July (juv Herring Gulls soon change to pink too). Now that the first lesser-black Backed juvs have arrived on my patch 23rd July my first, it gets trickier.. In this case size is important!Mike Langmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769021137483993740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854917240637353068.post-77669963482802580602016-07-26T05:53:32.113+01:002016-07-26T05:53:32.113+01:00Brilliant info!
