ID of parents from nest 61 is certain in 2021, both are Caspian Gull cachinnans, mother is r-F.B.
There was a slight possibility this pullus r-F.Y was from an adjacent nest, and it appeared so, when it was reported back in later years.

Visits and data:

date:                
24-04-2021 2 partners present, both cachinnans. Nest allows trapping breeders, easily.
  2 eggs in nest.            
  egg no: width (mm) length (mm) volume (cm3):  water test on April 24th:       
  A egg 50,8 71,8 93,29 30 - tip bottom      
  B egg 49,7 70,4 87,56 25 - tip bottom      
  sum nest: --        
   
26-04-2021 Both partners present, one guarding, one breeding. A female cachinnans with hanging left leg in flight is most probably NOT the breeding female. Is another cachinnans breeding here as well?
   
13-05-2021 Both partners present. Male has 5CY markings. Now the right female photographed in flight.
  3 eggs in nest.
   
15-05-2021 3 eggs in nest.
