Had this rather odd looking sub-adult Herring Gull with an all black bill at Hartlepool today. Not seen anything like this before. Anyone know what's going on with it?

Castle Lake Buff-breasted Sand this morning from the hide. Distance, direction of the sun, heat haze, incompetence all on the list of excuses
