It's a 1st year Lesser black-backed gull I think.

Looks like a first year Lesser Black-backed Gull. The shot of the flying bird shows a white lightly marked rump and the primary feathers appear all dark without a pale wedge.
Here's a photo of a first Winter Herring Gull showing the same features as the bird in question, (that one being slightly overexposed incidentally). Here's a couple of web links to a Lesser-black Backed Gull in flight for comparison, this appears to be a first Winter bird.
