Is this a Yellow-legged?
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:53 pm
Looking for expert opinions again please.
The gull shown in the links below appeared slightly longer legged (legs were quite pale looking too, as you will see) and just appeared to have a different jizz to the other herring gulls present - could it be a 2nd cy yellow-legged? I have reservations as I'm not sure it's dark enough grey but welcome opinions as to why it is whatever it is. Not easy this getting into gulls! Look forward to your replies.
