Hi all. Just wondering if the gull in the background might be something other than Lesser Black Backed? Was taken at Ferrybridge (South coast, Dorset) last week. Legs and beak look very pale yellow to me, and there appears to be a spot on both bottom and top of the bill?
Any help gratefully received :o)

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
For advice about Birding, Identification,field guides, binoculars, scopes, tripods, etc - put 'Birding Tips' into the search box
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Wrong shape for Ring Billed IMHO

No clearer, but slightly differing views
