I need an ID of this gull taken at Saltholme Back.

Rob,

  Checking my Seabird in flight guide, its a Black Headed Gull in plumage change.
Could be totally wrong. But I'm 95% certain.

What about the Black spot on the wing?

Eddie H

Ermm,

Was more interested in the red legs, black bill White outer primary and single mirror on the under wing.
Black spot, ?????
As I said, could, am, wrong

It is indeed a Black-headed Gull, moulting into summer plumage.

Not sure which black spot is worrying you, but if it's the large one at the base of the right wing, that's just a shadow.
