Gull pictures and tongue strangeness

Gull watching is not just about sifting through Herring Gulls and stringing all the 1st winter birds into rare Eastern subspecies, no it is not.  Well not generally anyway.  

This unfortunate looking thing is neither here nor there, but most certainly on it's way there.  The remnants of the winter plumage and the summer plumage at the base of the beak not catching  up with the rest of the moult give it a bit of a scrappy feel, but this is a very healthy bird.

And it kind of rolled its tongue too, strangely...
