Kyrylo Gorshkov: Наявність білого дзеркальця викликає в мене підозри, що це нерозень. Чи можливо визначити вид? (вибачте, що виставляю осіннє фото навесні) [....]

2019-03-19

Сергей Л. Волков: Вони.

Олег Ф: попробуйте высветлить и увеличить,возможно увидим характерную полосатость белолобика

no any comments:

Олег Марцун: Не могу с уверенностью сказать, что птица одна и та же, так как на локации находилось несколько белоголовых чаек.
