Hi all

Forgot to upload this.

Is this a juvenile Gull?

I think the head looks a bit small and makes the body look too big for it.

It was by itself and acting a bit like a Wader so it confused me - but that doesn't take much

So juvenile Gull (and which one if so) or not?

thanks

Check out juvenile Black headed. If you don't already own it, you can pick up the Collins guide for about £10 which will give you the reward of ID'ing your own birds, essential for anybody new to the hobby.

Agree with juv. Black-headed Gull and also that the Collin's is a must for all of us - though I know plenty who have it and still get confused, so don't worry, your not alone!
