Mike et al,
Just a little correction. The Laughing Gull is a first winter - not a juvenile.
Cheers,
Nikolas

I support the observers claim that it is Laughing Gull. It is a juvenile.
I do however challenge the ID of the standing 'Black-headed Gull' (in quotes)
at Darwin on same site and reports of the bird at that location that had no
black spot behind the eye. Other photos of what appears to be a different bird
around Darwin are correctly identified as Black-headed Gull.
