Yellow-Legged Gull ?

[Gaza]

I have to say, that I didn't take these photos in the UK.

But are they the Yellow-legged Gull ?

Would someone be kind enough to confirm, or correct me, please.

Perhaps you could have said where you did take the photos!?

Looks good for a Yellow-legged Gull to me.

Hi Aeshna5

Sorry! I should have said. These photos were taken in Venice, on the Grand canal.

Thanks!

I agree with that!

I can't see any reason why they aren't Yellow-legged Gulls, presumably you've been on holiday somewhere near the Med?

Herring Gulls with yellow legs would probably be the only other option (most likely in Scandinavia), but structurally they look good for Yellow-legged Gull.

Which makes Yellow-legged the most common large gull species in the region!

Great ! Glad I took the photos!

Thanks for your help and confirmation.
