Great photos Dave :Cool:

Dave, I see what Jen means - is your first BHG actually a Common Gull? Maybe you forgot to put in it's name :thinking:

Sorry Jen...i missed your observation.

It is indeed an immature BH Gull Jen and Grayling in it's, what would be, first signs of winter plumage.

Thanks everyone.

In certain light they did look quite a few different colours Grayling, sometimes it was red/orange then other times they did look pinkish/yellow.

Thanks everyone.

I agree Julie, the plumages in Black headed gulls are often overlooked and they can be quite beautiful.
