Taken back in my larophobe days, and while I am not yet a larophile exactly, I am sufficiently larocurious to wonder about this bird. Yellow-legged? Caspian? I suspect the latter, what does anyone else think?

Cheers

Definitely a GBB Gull, though I would lean more towards a 2nd winter (3cy) rather than 2cy.

Similarly plumaged bird here: http://gull-research.org/gbbg/gbbg3cy/3cymarch24.html

...which I think confirms yours as a 3cy:t:
