Sorry, not Common - bill too heavy for that. One of Herring, Yellow-legged or Caspian, or a mix of two or more of them.
Or, for simplicity's sake, a Seagull :king:

Used to occur in Flocks in the 1980's, had a diagnostic voice and strangely attracted masses of people... 3

it's not as easy as it looks but i tend to see a 4cy herring gull here. problems are the time of year and with it wear of immature feathers, ongoing moult and not the best resolution of the pic. could also be a 3cy michahellis but it doesn't look like it. did you notice leg colour? hard to discern from this pic because of the yellow buoy. iris might be dark and eye looks small but the rest of the bird doesn't resemble caspian gull. YLG should have yellow legs in 3cy june, HG's legs would definitely be pink, that's why i ask.
