Yellow Legged Gull (Larus michahellis)

Captured this the other day with my dad's 70-300 IS Lens. Nicely coloured for a bird that can be a pain the ass at times ;)

Well it's certainly a Gull ... :thumbs: ... and it certainly has Yellow Legs ... :D ... clearly the naming committee had trouble being original with this one ... :suspect:


Excellent shots Mike ... :thumbs: ... really sharp and you have exposed them well to stand out from the background ... ;) ... lovely clear images ... :D






:p

Yeah, they should have called it the Lesser Black Backed Yellow Legged Red Ringed Eye Gull so as not to be confused with the Herring Gull :thinking: :lol:

I always think green is a shot like this really helps, oops did I say green :eek:

not bad for a reasonably cheap lens.
