Case: 2012-34
Date: 2012-01-08 -(03-03)
Site: Hanstholm Harbour, Denmark
Observer: *Rune Sø Neergaard m.fl.
It has been identified as a Kumlien's Gull due to the dark outer webs contrasting with the pale inner webs on the outer four primaries in combination with relatively pale and unmarked inner primaries, a 'ghost mirror' on P10 which is bordered by dark subterminal band below, dark subterminal spots on the other outer primaries forming a hook onto the inner webs. So the overall pattern is like a subdued Thayer's Gull of this age which should exclude the brown-winged glaucoides known from West Greenland and Iceland.
It was found and identified by Rune Sø Neergaard almost a month ago on January 8. It was the fifth of eight white-winged gulls I managed to locate in the Hanstholm Harbour area in just one day, with six Kumlien's/Iceland Gull-types and one 2cy and one 3cy Glaucous Gull.
