4th-winter and Adult Yellow-legged Gull Larus michahellis |
|||||
4th-winter Yellow-legged Gull, 10th December, 1999.
This bird was identified by many as Caspian, but the bird and bill is too bulky. Compare the pattern of the longest primary: a small white tip and large black area on the primaries is much more like Yellow-legged, although the base of the inner web is markedly white - usually grey. |
