Split from Herring Gull a while ago, it turns out that this is not an uncommon species in Britain,
many birds disperse here from Central Asia, via Poland especially, after breeding. Unlike the other common "ex-herring gull" there are currently
no breeding records in the UK, but birds can be very similar to Herring or Yellow-legged unless they are classic examples, there are also
undoubtedly hybrids throughout Europe.
