Find attached photos of an immature gull photographed at Lauwersoog haven in the Netherlands on 8th October 2022.
Can the species be determined here?
Thanks!

Looks like a Herring Gull. Usually you'd need at least a side view to ID large gulls...

Thanks. I thought so, lou, but I wanted to give it a try despite the suboptimal angle. Immature large gull ID is still black magic for me, regardless of angle 😅
