Présence dans le détroit
Accidental. Three records of controlled birds: Two from the United Kingdom at Algeciras on 10.01.55 and at Barbate on 2.12.65; and one from Denmark at Algeciras on 14.12.85. It could occur more often, taking into account that there may be birds present with Yellow-legged Gull flocks, as they were formerly considered to be the same species. It is distributed along coasts of United Kingdom and Scandanavia, as far South as NW France.
Identification
Similar to a Yellow-legged Gull but with pinkish legs; in winter head and neck more streaked. Juveniles are very similar to those of a Yellow-legged Gull but darker with less prominent tail pattern.
Reprises de bagues
United Kingdom (2), Holland (2) and Denmark (1).
