However in the dim light found this gull, now it might be a Lesser Black-backed Gull, but a little of me thinks YL Gull and is this the one reported here recently - would like to confirm from someone better on Gulls if possible please. Blogged images of a LBB near it to for comparison. Blogged more images. Thanks |

Received an email today with a breakdown on the gull and confirmation of it being a Yellow Legged Gull. Its jizz lead me to a sort of conclusion, but fear of getting it wrong I attempted to eliminate everything I could refer to and to compare details of other species. Great images of Kirkby YL Gulls can be found here: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lfbx7ysT6D8/SnCcrNe8hMI/AAAAAAAAJck/QuSDWQvapAo/s1600-h/yell+19th+(1).JPG |
