A 2nd Winter and Adult Mediterranean gull in the roost on college rocks this
evening.
Also
a possible Ring-billed Gull (Bill heavier and Paler mantle
than Common
Gull?) and
Argentatus Herring Gull (Darker grey mantle than
Argenteus and large amounts of white on primaries?).
I apologise for my awful photographs and almost constant queries about
Gulls, but it's something I want to improve at and something I put quite
a bit of
time into. ![]()

Good luck to Edward in his study of Herring Gull taxonomy; it's a fascinating topic. Unfortunately I can't see enough on the photos to form an opinion.
There are times when I wouldn't mind returning to the days when Herring Gulls were just Herring Gulls.
