This should be a juvenile as far as I can tell. Maybe 2 years of age. Gulls are hard to ID :)
I posted the images in backward order as I think the first one it the better one. :)

This bird is a bit confusing to me. Every Little Egrets I´ve seen before has yellow feet. And according to my book it should. But these are black or at least very dark. Those of you that are used to see this species what do you say?
