the first one looks like mongolicus
the second one looks like a Glaucous winged Gull first winter to me...but I'm really not sure.

I would agree with Tony. Very good photos of the Glaucous-winged Gull.

Dear James4j,

Thank's for helping us very much in the preparation of the new HK photoguide. Please send the photo/photos of this GW Gull photo to us (HKBWS office) for the photoguide.

The Glaucous-winged Gull was seen again from the new boardwalk hide this morning.
