Subspecies: intermedius Adult. The back color is difficult to judge neutrally here, but the weak contrast between the arm and the hand indicate that it is an intermedius. Fuscus undoubtedly would be darker. And even though all northwestern subspecies occur in Denmark, it is still intermedius that is the most common in eastern Denmark. |

Subspecies: [intermedius] Adult with completely white tail. With only small white spots on P9 and P10 plus very small white tips to the remiges and the fact that there is not that much contrast between the color of the arm and the hand, this bird could be a fuscus. On the other hand, looking at the photo with the other gulls the bird looks more round and shows some contrast between back and remiges which lead toward intermedius. |

Subspecies: fuscus? Adult without other details than a completely white tail, and a very small apical spot on P10 which goes best with a fuscus. |

Subspecies: intermedius Adult. Typical to find a roosting bird in spring, here in the center of the city. Resting before continuing soon, I assume. Neat and sharp with elongated rear part. |

Subspecies: intermedius Adult. Another spring passing bird, overhead. I never noticed that the feet on such a large bird can be "pulled up" completely. |

First calendar year. Probably intermedius since it didn't look slim and elongated enough to be a Baltic. In all a classic bird in complete juvenile plumage. There were many bread feeders visiting the harbor this Saturday afternoon, but somehow this bird was not interested. Despite of the herring gulls, black-headed gulls and the mallard very much being so. This bird was more interested in small pebbles that a young boy was throwing into the water. Eagerly it made an effort each time to catch the 'prey' before it disappeared in the deep; causing it to almost crash against the pier a few times. |
