Armeense meeuw / Armenian Gull

Çildir Gölü

Adults. The bird in front is probably an old one. Note the crispy bill. The amount of the typical black subterminal spot on the bill varies in july in 'armenicus' and a full black band could be seen in summer plumage. Compared to 'michahellis', 'armenicus' is bulkier and round-headed. The bird in the very background is a male, due to its flat forehead. The birds in front may be both female.
