Near Threatened; range highly restricted.

Yellow-legged Gull

Yellow-legged Gull, 52–68 cm, is the large gull of Mediterranean and Atlantic Iberian coasts. Yellow legs distinguish it from the pink-legged Herring Gull; darker grey mantle. Omnivore; highly adaptable — increasing in urban areas and landfills across southern Europe and North Africa.
