The regular Polish ringed yellow P:0P3 bird and yesterday's 2w bird again. The second bird is in more advanced moult with many coverts and two tertials now grey; Single mirrors on both P10 quite prominent. However, the head shows quite a lot of faint streaking, even on the crown which might suggest some hybrid genes, though all gulls have some variability.
