Gull ID's Please.

[PeterB]

Saw this, Juv LBB?? having Crab for lunch.





And this in the air?



And is this a Herring Gull?

A superb flight shot Peter!

Too late at night for me to help with an ID, besides I don't do Gulls...well not often!

[PeterB]

I can assure you I've tried before posting these Judith but they are just so complicated.

Here goes nothing - I'm saying the 1st two pics are 2nd/3rd winter Herring gull, the 3rd pic 2nd winter Herring gull and the 4th pic an adult in summer plummage!!

In my opinion, they're all herring gulls. The fourth pic is an adult, the third is a juvenile, and the other two are in between!

[PeterB]

Thanks Guys, I thought I'd got the adult right but the Juv's are a nightmare.
