This afternoon at the entrance to Scenic Point development I spotted a very 
large gull perched on the rock shoal about 1/4 mile out with a large number of 
Ring-billed gulls.  The gull flew off the rocks and dived on another large gull 
that I believe is a Herring gull.  The photos aren't the best taken 1200 mm 
with Canon SX50 on a misty afternoon. I believe this is an immature Great 
Black-backed gull but am open to other opinion. The third image shows the GBBG 
and Herring gull beyond the Ring-bills.
