Those gulls again

Those who have followed for a while know I am not that great on gulls, okay, but not great and as for finding a Yellow-legged Gull, it has been pitiful. And perhaps it remains that way, but today I found a gull that took my attention and got records shots that appear to match a 1st summer bird on the web.
My shots;















It looks very like the bird on this link;

So for the moment it is looking quite good for Yellow-Legged Gull to finally be added to the year list....we'll see. Other than that it was amazingly quiet, just 7 Wigeon, 10+ Teal, 2 Little Egret, Oystercatcher heard, a brief song from Skylark and nowt else, but Siskin and Redwing on the walk back

    Looks similar to mine which based on the coverts and scraps was more likely a Herring Gull. Very late for YLG now too!
