Gull help please. Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve, Lunt, near Crosby UK (1 Viewer)

Taken today at Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve, Lunt, near Crosby UK.

There was a right party going on here, but I couldn't identify this gull (circled).

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

Black-headed Gull

Agreed. Black-headed Gull.

Thanks guys - so he's just like one of those other gulls to the right?

It was his different head markings that made me wonder.

 

[Nutcracker]

Yep - just slightly ahead of the game in moulting into winter plumage. They'll all look like that in a month.

Cheers Nutcracker :t:
