Gulls in London (1 Viewer)

[timsg80]

I posted earlier about a possible Caspian Gull at Beddington Farmlands today, but I've just got the photos off my camera so hopefully it might be a bit better now! I was also wondering what species is in the final photo?

Thanks for any help!

Probably a juvenille herring gull

Hello,
I think first is a 2 cy Herring Gull by

• pattern of upperparts
• washed, vermiculated (yes, still barred) greater coverts
• much white in tertial tip

I see, how you detected a small headed gull with a thinner than normal bill, but I think its still within variation for a pure Herring Gull.

Second bird is a hard + Gull to me, where I better learn. Thank you!
