It is this time of year when the moulting large white-headed gulls arrive to over winter in Kuwait. Gulls are the favourites of many, but they havent quite rubbed off on me yet and they can really be challenging when a lot of their flight feathers are missing.
But, this is a location worth visiting to ensure there arent any specials in amongst those wheeling above the fishing dhow's.
In my defense, I have a backlog to process - so will make a more concerted effort to ID them when I have the time. However, if you are 100% certain of the ID, all comments will be read.
I have grouped this batch together as I suspect they may be Caspian Gulls
and this lot possibly Heuglins
But here are two together for comparison to show the difference is the upperpart colours
This one was a cinch, a patriotic pale form Indian Reef Heron.
