What kind of Gull is this?

This big fella visited our garden this morning. Can anyone tell us if the Gull on the right is a Glaucous Gull?

He/she must be at least 60 cm from beak to tail and enjoys porridge oats and raisins.

The one on the right is the juvenile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucous-winged_Gull

Lovely photos!

I have it on good authority from the_count that it is a juvenile herring gul

I stand corrected and bow to the wisdom of the_count

I can see now that the pic I posted and the bird in the photo aren't exactly the same.
Och they're all seagulls to me!

being on the sunny south coast where herring gulls abound, I concur

and the other gull is the not so common Common Gull

I think it is a scorrie
