Never going to know for sure but this is the best example I've seen yet of a probable 1cy hybrid; they must occur as I've seen adults!Tim Worfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081554391725867216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089047804797090488.post-27698508130378033962014-11-05T10:17:51.958+00:002014-11-05T10:17:51.958+00:00Odd bird Tim - a mix of perhaps Lbbg and herring? ...Odd bird Tim - a mix of perhaps Lbbg and herring? Tail looks Lbbg and inner primaries not herring - almost ylg like? I might go for lbbg/herring hybrid or odd herring perhaps. Not sure but doesn't feel right for lbbg. Was it as big as it looks in the photos? Love your scandanavian herring shots and nice otter shots too - a very lucky encounter!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005197630915867345noreply@blogger.com
