Herring x Lesser Black-backed Gull (hybrid) (Larus argentatus x fuscus) (1)
- Reported Dec 27, 2022 09:45 by Peter Paul

- Comments: "My first view of this bird was mostly obscured, but I could see enough that it had a decidedly darker mantle than the nearby HERGs. Eventually it stood up and took its head out. The color never quite clicked for LBBG, and the structure seems a bit off. I never actually saw the birds legs, but photos show the reflection of them, and they appear to be pink. The pink legs, in between mantle shade, and odd structure seem to add up to this hybrid pair."
