Caspian or Yellow-legged.

Post by proldfield » Wed Apr 09, 2014 2:14 pm

Hi every one. I originally identified this Gull as a Caspian but of few of my birding friends seem to think that it is a Yellow-legged. Any comments would be welcome. Unfortunately the images were taken at a range of about 500 yards so they are not the best.
Thanks.

Actually, this looks like a Herring Gull to me...
