Took this pic at Cleethorpes today mainly black headed gulls but this one I believe is a common gull

Yeah I'd go with that, I'm viewing it on my phone but looks like one with the slender beak. My 2nd fave gull after great black backed. Not so common in my part, but I know where several pairs are at an inland loch that breed up trees! I kid you not. |

Not sure... the eyes appear yellow, and the black flight feathers extend too far in the wrong direction for me. I think Lesser Black-backed or similar...

I agree with Jason, the extent of dark on the primaries and secondaries would suggest Lesser-black Baked Gull to me.

That's it, no more IDs from my phone, I'll wait till I'm back online before I try anymore. :-) |

When I was watching them on the beach I saw a couple of LBB but when I looked at this pic the beak looked wrong to me but I agree that it is a LBB. Probally not a good idea to try and ID gulls after a day at the beach with the kids!
