- it's probably got some Herring Gull ancestry
- it appears to fit a third calendar year bird, with the pale iris present on this age as well as the plain, moulted scapulars.
- the lean bill and deep pink legs mimic that of an Iceland Gull
Thanks to Rob I, Josh J and Niall K for the subsequent discussion; and of course to Steve A and Dave A who shared the observation. Hopefully it'll still be about this coming Saturday. Any further comments would be appreciated too...
