LEEB


A beautiful juvenile Lesser Black-backed Gull on the beach this morning which initially had me thinking Yellow-legged Gull, such was the contrast in plumage tones. Note however the complete lack of moult in the scapulars. Once in flight the dark wings and amount of dark in the tail showed it was just a LEEB.
