Yellow-legged Gull hybrid? michahellis 1cy June-July 2011, Tel Aviv - University Zool. Garden, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.

As described in the ADULT APRIL section, in 2011 the Tel Aviv University Zoological Garden has been the location for two suspected Armenian Gull hybrid paires with michahellis.

This image below is a bird from the nest with the less clear armenicus parent (which may be michahellis x armenicus itself?), see here. At the moment, we just call it "local 1cy michahellis" until we know more about the parent's backgrounds. Juvenile, primaries not yet fully grown.

This image below is the young bird from the nest with the parent.
