Observation details
Initial impression was large, and not particularly quick or acrobatic, so had to consider POJA, but after extended watching PAJA seemed like the best fit. Juvenile bird with both upper and underwing white flashes, repeatedly returning to harass the smaller gulls. Shape was not especially barrel-chested, but a little chunkier than other PAJA I've seen of this age. Watched off and on for around 20 min as it stayed with the gulls before it took off to the NW, further into the reach. Distant photo.
