Bird ID's

Can anyone put an ID to these birds?

Seen today at Verulamium, St Albans

This is what I'm guessing to be a (young) song thrush - I have a lot more pictures including some from different angles if it helps

And this is a gull, possibly lesser black-backed?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Regards

Benji

I think the gull is likely to be lesser Black backed im not 100 percent sure yet though but you can’t see the colour of the legs. Which can also help. Can you send some more photos?

Post shower Song Thrush - really tricky to age
As Zo says Lesser Black Back - I’m going on bill to bird ratio - the bill doesn’t look chunky enough to be GBB
And GGB give the impression of having been body building in the gym were LBB are more racing model

Yes I think I agree with that Germain although the third photo looks a bit lightweight for GBB but there seems little evidence to disagree
