Ring-billed Gull - Take Two

1st-summer Ring-billed Gull, Melton CP

To be honest I wasn't that pleased with the photos I took of the Ring-billed Gull last week, so  yesterday I decided to try again. Last time I was restricted to using my scope to provide the magnification, as the RBG was out in the middle of the lake. This technique is only really good enough for taking records shots unless the target is close and the light is perfect. Last week it was hanging around with a small flock of Common Gulls, but they seem to have gone and left it all on its own. 

Yesterday afternoon it was lured in quite close with bread although it still spent much of its time out in the middle of the lake.

Will this bird become an annual feature at Melton CP and will we get to see it as a smart adult?
