Different looking gull.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Mon May 04, 2009 7:00 pm

This heermann's gull doesn't look like the gulls one usually sees. It has black legs that helps with the ID. The one with the red bill is an adult the other is a juvenile.

Awww, they're sweet-looking gulls. And different too. I've never seen any like those around here.

Very different colouring from the gulls here in the UK and yet quite similar in shape of head, bill etc.

Now being a beach girl, I love gulls of every kind! When I hear them call, I know I'm home.
