Yellow Legged Gull Hoodie

A nice isolated photo of a yellow legged gull. The Yellow-Legged Gull is similar in appearance to the Herring gull and has only recently been recognized as a species in its own right, having previously been considered to be a race of herring gull. Adults have darker grey backs and wings than herring gulls, but are paler than lesser black-backed gulls. They have more black in the wing tips than herring gulls and smaller white 'mirrors'. The legs are bright yellow, there is a red ring around the eye and the bill is yellow with a large red spot.
