Looks like a one legged gull to me! Sorry, no help at all I know but couldn't resist.

Lesser Black Backed in my opinion. Try downloading 'Pocket Birds' app. It's great for quick ID'ing. Doesn't always provide concise answers though.

The yellow legged gull seems a lot lighter in colour that the LBB and quite conspicuous white markings on the tail, so I'd say a lesser black back. They are very similar.
