few days ago received an email with the following:
At first he thought might be a Baltic by black and white appearance, and the small size was small even in the hand.
Banders, Arild Breistøl Frode Falkenberg and we are not sure and we added a question to the subspecies.
six birds were banded in the first year that day, the other five they were as intermedius. Three of them have been later in Spain, Hanstholm in Denmark in October and a third in Anza, Agadir, Morocco last month. There were few banding
Hordaland to date, there will be more in the coming years.
The nearest Baltic should be raising to 250 km in the northern part of Møre and Romsdal.
For the first time in 6 years did not visit all the colonies in Troms and Finnmark Shadowlands, due to bad weather. This means that only 83 chicks banded in 4 colonies, 150-300 in 9 normal colonies.
It is best played when 50 pairs on some islands in a lake in Ringvassøy, Troms. The first colony in fresh water north of Norway!
They had a few chickens in 2010, they were accosted by a Falcon Local gyrfalcon when we were there.
will be interesting to track the coming years.
Some pictures on the day of banding:

do not know if it is a Baltic Gull (Larus fuscus fuscus ) Or not.
Future observations will clarify the issue.
