Hi,
I took these two photos of Grey-headed Gulls in St Lucia, KZN, South Africa.
One has a typical breeding plumage with red bill and legs. The other is mostly there with its grey head, but appears to retain second winter legs (orange) and a black tipped bill.
Is the orange legged one still coming through the change from second winter to adult breeding, or do some adults retain the orange legs?
Thanks very much
