Can anyone help with identifying the gull to the left of the black headed gull please.

Hi i022424, I believe your gull is an immature 1st winter Black-headed gull that's still transforming from its juvenile plumage. I am not an expert when it comes to gulls am afraid so please wait for others in the know to set us both straight lol

Hi Linda,
Sounds pretty plausible to me. It's a similar size and the beak is the right shape, it's just the rest of the colouration that's not quite right. Thanks for replying.
