Sea bird for ID
I noticed this one among the Black backed and herring gulls but it was much smaller. It looks like an older Juvenile something or other which is getting its adult plumage - any idea's please?



Thanks.

Thanks Ferret, I will cage the names.

I must admit I was rather hoping it was an Iceland Gull - Larus glaucoides as some have been spotted thereand if I had a list it would have been one to tick off .

Iceland Gulls should stand out - no black in the wing tips at any age!
