I spent the whole weekend at Peterhead. There were no white-winged gulls but plenty of 'argies' to look at and photograph. These images are not great (very grainy), as the light was very poor and I was shooting on ISO approx 1600-2000.
L.a.argentatus (with nice
cachinnans type
pattern on P10)
L.a.argentatus; the angle makes the outer-primaries appear more extensively white than in life
Several of the adult argies have yet to complete their wing moult.
L.a.argentatus; a very dark one.
L.a.argentatus. Unusually dark nape and breast sides.
1 cy Herring Gull
Herring Gull. Presumably from the far north (i.e. no scapular moult yet).
