Odd Gull - Scott's Quay, Cornwall (1 Viewer)

[SimonG4ELI]

Was out at Scott's Quay photographing Curlew (lots), Redshank (masses), Egret (some) etc. on August 9th, 2023.

This confused me - not necessarily the same bird. Picture 2 looks like a Little Gull, but what's Picture 1?

Both black-headed gulls. Note underwing-pattern (and compare head-pattern with your field guide).

Many thanks.
