1. can't ID this 2nd cycle gull with certainty. could well be a plain coloured retarded michahellis (YLG typically with more grey in scaps and median coverts at this age and more contrasting coverts) but could be a 2cy argentatus. window is weak though and head very white for a herring gull.
2. 3cy cachinnans with an unusually bulbous bill tip
3. 1cy michahellis

cheers
