Yellow-legged Gull
Where to spot
Widespread across the Mediterranean basin, parts of the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North Africa, and extending into the Middle East. Found on coasts, islands, estuaries, and increasingly in urban and inland areas.
How to spot
Identify by its bright yellow legs (in adults), darker grey mantle compared to Herring Gulls, and often a relatively heavy, deep-based yellow bill with a red spot. The primary pattern is also distinctive.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round throughout its range. Breeding occurs from spring to early summer.
