Posting for Nick D - possible Caspian Gull ?
Photos taken in fields near Mount Tabor on Monday 5th Feb.
looks like herring or hybrid.........dark underwing large pale primarie flash tail pattern looks wrong but photos are too poor to make out details if anything it has some caspian genes but more herring like good find though

Would agree, the axillaries don't look white enough for Caspian Gull.
The bird is 3rd winter.
