Gull ID Northants (1 Viewer)

[CactusD]

One from local Boddington Reservoir. My excuse for being rubbish at Gulls is that I'm waiting for the new Collins! But perhaps I should make learning Gulls my new-year's resolution
So, is this just a Herring Gull (of some kind), or something else? The bill ring looks a little unusual to me, perhaps. No better pics since it was a long way off.
Cheers for help!

It's a Common Gull, Dave.

 

[Adam W]

Common Gull i would say.

Cool. Guess it looks too nice to be a Herring!
