Gull ID please

[Jacqueline Burrell]

Hi

I need an ID for these gulls so I can post a short series of pix about the white stork migration on the Red Sea south of Hurghada.

Thanks

They're rather small in the image, but I think some at least are Slender-billed Gulls.

Hi Jacqueline, if you have any closer photos please post but Slender-billed Gulls must be what they are.

Hi

Sorry, I couldn't get any closer to them because of barrier of inhospitable rocks and no mountaineering gear!

[AndyB]

Just been flicking through your photo albums - some very nice shots and looks like you've done a great job of identifying everything.

Managed to get a "closer" look in Photoshop and can positively identify one bird (arrowed) as a Slender-billed Gull, so a fair chance that most or all are the same species.

Hi

Thanks for all your efforts, I had no idea that joining Surfbirds would be such fun. I'm now reading up on bird photography in the hopes on coming closer to some of the stunning images I've enjoyed so much on the site.

Best regards

Jacqueline
