I have not done a 'search' for pix of such individuals [guess i should make more effort i know]!...i'm guessing that they must exist...don't they? Must confess...i don't always 'keep up' with all the latest gull id information...i am interested...[when i need to be for my own education]..but i tend to leave it to the more 'gull committed' among us...those who can 'really' try and sort the bugers out! Bottom line seems to be tho...with some individual gulls....that you are just never going to know 'for sure' the id/parentage etc!! That's when...perhaps most of us?..just 'throw the towel in' and go off and watch 'the Brits' on the box! I am full of admiration tho for those people endowed with great powers of 'stickability' and with fine analytical brains! [such as certain contributors on this thread].  [ps...Derek....'Flock of Sea-Gulls'?....loved that song 'wishing' they did...great hair-do with that lead singer]<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
