Try 350mm....

I shoot the same combination. Try backing off from 400mm a bit, my PL100-400 is sharpest at 350mm, f/7.1. Your speed at 1/3200 should be OK for a seagull as they usually aren’t that fast. However since you got the tail end of the bird I suspect you were a bit slow in the tracking. It’s easier to get a sharp image if the contrasty eye is towards you.
