Any ideas on what gull this is. I saw it on Lacul (lake) Tancabesti, just outside bucharest in romania around may.

It looks like a (male?) Caspian Gull. This is not a very common bird around Bucharest in May...
For comparison here is a Yellow-legged Gull wing tip. For example, you can see that your bird has a larger white mirror on P10 and no subterminal black mark.
