Photographed in Brierfield, North-West England, which is about 35 miles / 56 Kilometers from the nearest coast. There is a canal nearby but no large rivers or lakes so I don't know what attracts these Gulls to this area. They often arrive in a flock, fly around in circles for a while and then disappear for a few days before returning again. I think this is either a "common gull" or a "herring gull"....they are very similar in appearance and therefore difficult to identify.

A Piper PA-28-161 light aircraft near the town of Colne in Lancashire, North-West England. Photographed with a Nikon D300s camera and Nikkor 70-300mm lens (equivalent to 450mm on a full-frame sensor). This aircraft was flying at an estimated altitude of 1500 - 2000 feet / 450 - 610 metres (approx.) so I managed to get a few shots of it before it flew out of sight.
