No photos are edited. All birds are really good graelsii-candidates, and all are different individuals, if nothing else is stated... Any comments?

Really bad comparison-photo. Probable fuscus behind. |

| Same as above. Together with the same fuscus as above. |
Really interesting with all of these graelsii-type gulls at Langvannet in the start of August. Now, late August, there are still a lot of gulls at Langvannet, but mostly 1cy. As a result, almost all the fuscus/graelsii gulls have disappeared. I have seen one fuscus (maybe a few more) and one graelsii bird since mid August.
Are the birds above migrant heading south already? And migrating through Oslo?
Som alltid er det vanskelig å vurdere vingeoversidens farge. Både lysforhold, eksponering og vinkel på fuglen i forhold til lyset er viktig. Men uansett ser det for meg ut som om i alle fall 5 av bildene viser greie graellsii'er. Og kanskje kan de fleste bestemmes til denne underarten. Uansett er det overraskende at så mange lyse fugler sees i en så kort periode.
