Cachinnans - nest 167
General remarks:
- Eggs: Volume measured by Stonehouse (1964) and Spaans & Spaans (1975), which make comparison possible with data from Texel (Camphuysen pers comm 16.04.2020).
- Nest 167 positioned on section "dam 1 blocks", just 2,5 meters south of nest y-P:U60. Nest visible from south side. Discovered late in season.
- ID certain in 2023: both parents are adult Caspian Gull cachinnans.
- ID uncertain in 2024: one parent is adult Caspian Gull cachinnans. Other unknown, but likely Caspian.
