Hi, Stephen! On this beach they are probably either herring or great black-backed gulls. Given the size, I think the former is the the culprit. Whatever the variety, he must have been cold. It was freezing and windy!
I thought it might be a bit big for a great black-back and those smaller than that could fill a guide book of Seagulls!
I often wonder if seabirds have antifreeze in their blood!

There’ll be someone somewhere who will be able to tell you exactly which Gull made those prints!
