Not sure which bird you're meaning, but I can only see Black-headed Gulls in the photo - the one in the bottom left is a juvenile, with the buffy-brown mantle and head markings. If you look at the primary pattern though, it's typical Black-headed, as is the size.

Yes you are right i should have looked at the pic properly silly me.Have to say the juv BH gulls do look a lot smaller than the 2 adults.Might be just the way they situated in the pic making them look smaller.

Two questions
How long have you been interested in wild birds ?
Have you got a bird ID guide ?

DBC Castle Lake Nature Reserve.
11 species of wader on the main lake at Bishop Middleham today
Common, Green & Wood Sandpipers, Snipe, Ringed & Little Ringed Plover, Curlew, Dunlin, Lapwing, Oystercatcher and Greenshank.
NB:
The reserve is still experiencing problems with visitors ( birders & non birders alike ) walking close to the waters edge - this results in a negative impact throughout the year, but especially so during breeding season.
I spoke to one guy today who was along the waters edge with his dog . . .
When i advised him that it would be helpful if he sticks to the designated acess routes, as the area was a nature reserve & private farmland,
his reply was "well them with the binoculars wander all over".
Please Note:
There is NO acess to any part of the shoreline, there are several maps posted on stiles etc, signposts & interpretive panels to help all visitors enjoy their visits.

Hi Steve Hurworth Burn used to cracking for waders when the water level was right seen 15 species of wader there in one day.Still think you cannot beat Barmston Pond for waders when the water level is right.But i think we have lost Barmston Pond for waders which is a crying shame.Says thou !, with thy recent change to dual Anglo/Scots nationality
