Observation details

First winter bird amongst the roosting Laughing Gulls. Stuck out much more than I had expected, this being the first FRGU I’ve seen amongst LAGUs and only my second ever and first immature. Its small size, well-defined partial hood, and somewhat darker mantle all drew my attention to this sharp bird.
