on average it has more pinkish legs in winter but they can also be yellow or pale yellow or greyish. there are about 10000 features to look for and you have to add them. never go by leg colour alone...

Hi Lou,
yes, I see. But now I think that all big gulls I have from Turkey are yellow-legged... Just for the reference three more pictures.
And 04 and 05 - this is Black-headed gull, Larus ridibundus, right?
Thank you!!!
