    Possible Yellow-legged Gull, Cambridgeshire

    Out snapping on Sunday when we met a fully trained birder who considered this might be a yellow-legged gull. He would research further when he got home. It was very distant and only presented a side view and this is my best effort. Any views please? Thanks Colin
