Larus cachinnans 2CY-4CY XNCD 2013-2015, France & the Netherlands. Picture: Pierre Tillier, Ran Schols & Willy Raitière. Green XNCD and metal DEH (Hiddensee) EA..181624.
Species: Herring Gull (Group) (Larus argent./cachin./michah.) This colony is 100 km SE of Berlin and Lausitz holds a mixed colony in the lake. At this location ringing takes place in colonies of mixed species, with Herring, Caspian and Yellow-legged Gull, so identification is not always straight forward. The possibility that juveniles are not a pure bird is therefore not unlikely. Recoveries: below: Larus cachinnans 4CY XNCD December 05 2015, L'Ilse-Adam, France (49°07'15"N 002°12'45"E).
