This awesome adult yellow-legged gull roosted at Pennington Flash this
evening. I love how clean cut it looks, and look at the size of it compared to
the lesser black-back. All of the photos in this post are phonescoped apart
from the next one. It was sunset on a very dull day.
This photo was taken on my camera and clearly shows the mantle colour.
Remember, this is a video grab of a bird which was 100m away at sunset on a
dull day in January, with a wind speed of about 25mph. However, you can
clearly see that the bird has yellow legs! And this is obvious in other parts
of the video too, but there's only so many crap photos that even I can post!
Just take my word for it that it had yellow legs!
I actually love this photo of the bird being attacked by the flying lesser black-back.
Look how pure white it's head and neck are.
In some of the photos you can even see that the bird has a yellow eye with a
red orbital ring.
Much more easy to identify, this adult Mediterranean gull was also in the
roost this evening.
