More from Cosmeston

Id’ing 1st Summer gulls (12 months old) is always difficult this time of year when their feathers are bleached and moulting. Have a look at this one

and again on the following two shots. Looks like it could be a YLG but no help from the feathers. The head was big and square, although not shown too well in the shots and the bill was big. The bird itself was big hence not a LBB. The Jizz was very different from the LBBs and HGs. Perhaps a hint of darker mantle feathers coming through suggesting not an HG.

Any support for a YLG?
