Observation details

looks like a LBBG X some species of Herring Gull - mantle colour similar to CAGU - a shade darker than AHGU but has the big red spot on bill - a large specimen - the one photo has a partially hidden typical ad LBBG to the right - if it is a hybrid with a Herring Gull, far more likely to be European Herring Gull which is what I put it down as, not that I am convinced in any way that is what it is. No way to ever prove its identity.
