5.0 ringed as chick on May 30th, 2022. Page on gull-research.org for r-5.0 (with photo credits). |
5.0 on June 28th, 2022. Both juveniles 5.0 & 5.1 taking off and showing cachinnans-like primary patterns, with largely dark outerwebs. | 5.0 on June 28th, 2022. Brown plumage may come as a surprise, and probably not associated with cachinnans by some observers, but in fact this is the norm for many pure birds. | 5.0 on December 3rd, 2022 in n. Spain. Migrated to Iberia. White-headed, with streaked collar in hindneck, solid tertials, pencil-shaped bill, and 2nd generation scapulars with thin anchor-patterns on greyish base all nicely match pure cachinnans. |

5.1 ringed as chick on May 30th, 2022.
Page on gull-research.org for r-5.1 (with photo credits). |
5.1 on August 7th, 2022. Plumage patterns and jizz already very cachinnans-like. | 5.1 on September 26th, 2022. Starts to develop characteristic pale underparts and head. Note exposed long-looking tibia. | 5.1 on February 15th, 2023. Replaced wing-coverts and collar of streaks in hindneck add to cachinnans-looks. If no parential history was known from the ring, probably this bird would be ID-ed as pure cachinnans? |
Images below: both parents clearly have cachinnans characteristics, but also show single traits indicating a probable hybrid origin.

XCHP 1CY, December 11th, 2018. In all aspects a classic 1st winter cachinnans.
Page on gull-research.org for y-XCHP. |
XCHP 5CY, April 11th, 2022. Complete solid sub-terminal band on P10, and, more important, P9 completely lacks a mirror. No mirror on P9 is rare in pure cachinnans of 5 years and older. | XCHP 5CY, June 21st, 2022. Head with rather short and high bill. Orbital ring red. | XCHP 5CY, November 7th, 2022. Iris turning paler, and note again rather short and high bill. |

4CY cachinnans type, April 12th, 2022. Both parents near the nest. | 4CY cachinnans type, April 12th, 2022. Wingtip pattern may still change with age. | 4CY cachinnans type, April 12th, 2022. Like it's partner, with rather stubby and high bill. | 4CY cachinnans type, May 4th, 2022. |
