Q.I. Gull

The day started off relaxed enough, with the 2 Barnacle Geese feeding in front of the house, until a phone call informing me that there's a possible Slaty-backed Gull in Lerwick !!! Managed to get there and see the bird and it looked pretty good on the deck, in flight tho' the primary pattern was al wrong. So having established between us all that is wasn't a SBG, I'm still none the wiser as to what it is exactly, but this seems a close fit - http://gulldk.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/presumed-hybrid-great-black-backed-gull.html
