Observation details
Both were first-winter gulls, with light gray mantle and brownish-gray wings. One indidividual seen together with an adult herring gull, facilitating comparison. The other one was perched on a pole, see photograph. Slightly smaller than herring gull, but the size difference was less than I would expect. Smaller and thinner bill, bi-colored. Dark eye notorious even when seen from a great distance. Black wing tips projecting far beyond the tail. Thick black terminal band on tail.
