Relic Gull -breeding plumage ?

The wing pattern (mostly white outer primaries, black on most of the other primaries) and chocolate-brown hood indicate this is a Black-headed gull (in fact, it is other gull species that get truly black heads in breeding plumage!)

As Gary mentions, many of the gulls are now reaching breeding plumage - it's also obvious among Saunder's Gulls at this time of year.
