YL Gull or hybrid? - UK (1 Viewer)

Hi Paul.

A better view of what´s going on in the wing tip area. If I´m now correct - it seems like it is a part of the tail this is invading p10 - and under the tail feathers sticking upp - one sees the grey part of the underside of p10 - which suggest that there´s a long grey tounge - which then would suggest a Herring- Yellow-legged has a much shorter tounge.
The orbital ring - shape and colour is Herring Gull.

Paul
