I was down by the river for 9 mins today on the way back from shopping, i had hoped to see a heron or some finches, but these fellas were swooping and splashing around. I don't know what they are called. I used manual focus as they were really speedy.

Great shots! You did well to manually focus on these. Definitely Black-Headed Gulls (in winter they lose their head colour but the red legs & bill are the giveaway.)
