And no further forward. I've had an email from a keen gull watcher who is reluctant to provide an opinion on the Upton bird but reckons that at least two of these are not Yellow-legged Gulls!
There you go you see, ask 10 birders for their views on an individual gull and you'll probably get at least 10 different opinions.

Seems like we may be a few steps closer to a firm ID

I really like birds like this because you end up learning a lot more on gull identification especially in plumages that we don't necessarily see a lot like 2w.
Hopefully if the large gulls keep dropping into the Moors then you guys might stand a chance at Iceland Gull with the amount that are in the country of late! Got a minimum of 11 in York at the moment!
