Top one I believe is a lesser black back, bottom one looks like a nearly-mature herring gull

I agree that the 'Gull 1' is a Lesser Black Backed Gull, not sure about the others? |

1 is deffo lesser black backed, the last one is a common gull. not sure about the other two, although its the same species i think. could be a 3rd winter herring gull

just noticed it has yellow legs, which could rule out herring gull actually. i'm not sure on gulls really, but i'm trying! i think aeshna5 may know!

Hopefully aeshna5 will know what they are
