The bird is great! Shame about the background though.

Nice flight pose and yes, looks like a 2nd winter to me - pale eye and bill tip.

The Gull is great Philip but not keen on the BG.

Agree with Ian, great shot of the subject just a shame with the BG.

You have captured the gull in a great pose showing superb details. BG is a shame but they are where they are.
Nice one

Needs more space around it for me. Otherwise an excellent shot, well seen & taken.
