_MG_0252 Northern Gannet (juvenile)Morus bassanus
Northern Gannet, Bempton Cliffs RSPB Reserve.

The image of this immature Gannet is similar to my last but one post. This is a younger bird. I would expect to see some markings on the head/neck but this bird seems atypical?
These are the best illustrations I could find for aging Gannets by their plumage.
