Hi all, These images of gull and shrike from winter 2016 season. need assistance to identify them please.
The shrike is a juvenile 'Isabelline', probably Turkestan. It would help to know what time of the year the image was taken to support this - Sep/Oct would favour Turkestan, Dec-Feb Daurian.
I'm going to pass on the gull, however.
Hi Mark,
The shrike was in December, so it seems like a Daurian/Isabelline juvenile. Thanks a lot.
Anybody on the Gull please ...
The gull can not be identified beyond Larus sp.
We call them 'Large white-headed gulls' here in the UAE See the online downloadable Checklist for the possible species involved
I'm pretty sure the shrike is 1st-winter Turkestan.
