 First calendar year Yellow Legged Gull
My favorite pic.

 In flight.
 This is the image when i first picked the bird up,quite a striking bird even at this range.
 In this shot you can see the slightly paler inner primaries.


 A different bird to the 1st Calendar bird above ,it was quite a brute of a bird.
 In flight.
 Preening its tail,again note the neat black tail band.
