It is 100% not a common gull Mike but beyond that I am not sure. It isn't mature, and that bill looks pretty fierce, I think it's a great black backed gull.

edit: I was deliberating while Roy posted that, honest!!

Well I believe him anyway!

I'm certainly not the slowest 'two finger typer' that I know, but even short messages normally appear at least two minutes after the last message that I actually see on a thread!

I'm glad to see that you agree!
