Gulls Larus Sp

Hedgerley Tip, near Beaconsfield -  9th February 2002

This gull was captured on video by Dave Ferguson in the usual roost field just south of the M40 motroway.  It's very pale appearance made it stand out from the other immature gulls nearby.  Dave is unsure of what it is and suspects a possible hybrid.  Any comments or opinions would be appreciated.

Fulmer Lake  - 9th February 2002

This was a different bird seen on the same day and again identity is unclear.  A hybrid is suspected.   Again any comments or opinions welcomed.  Note the very pale mantle and underwing.
