I'm now leaning towards Herring Gull, but I find them very difficult to tell apart. Whichever one it is, it is obviously a first winter bird, really stood out on its own amongst the Black-headed Gulls.

Difficult to tell as the Lesser and Great juveniles both look similar.
Too much patterning for the great, plus it's too small.
Yes. The great is massive. I think it's aherring gull as the lesser has a lighter head .Not 100% though
I'd go for Herring Gull too.
He's quite like this second winter one which landed on our garage in Ayr, isn't he?
Yes, looks similar, but they really confuse me. :conf40::)
Here ia one if it hels
