Herring Gull (argenteus) Z.X 1CY, November 13 2015, Katwijk, the Netherlands.

Two weeks ago it seemed to be a bird very bound to its lamp post in Scheveningen harbour waiting for french fries to snatch, but suddenly moved north along the coastline.

Herring Gull (argenteus) Z.X 1CY, October 30 2015, Scheveningen, the Netherlands.

Lower row of scaps still juvenile. Note contrast between old brown feathers and new greyish 2nd gen feathers in neck and side of breast. Very obvious in flying bird in 3rd image.
