Once a bird lover ... always a bird lover
Hi there

Just want to know if these are Lesser Black Backed Gulls

They where seen at Bedford Park mid-afternoon Wed 16/4/2015

Another question: Is one a juvenile due to the lack of black featheration on its back (need to get to grips with the 'bird' terminology) LOL ;)

Thanks in advance :gh:

they're adult Lesser Black-backs. Juveniles are streaky brown and white things with black bills, and they take a few years to get like this.
