My first visit to Portugal for 5 years in September and noticed this large Gull with pinkish grey legs, more like a Herring Gull than the expected Yellow-legged Gull. There seemed to be a lot of these about in addition to the Yellow-legged variety which were also present. Is it perhaps a Herring, or a hybrid or not quite an adult and still has the juvenile leg colour?
As an aside, I also noticed a lot of Magpies about (the pied ones) which I had not previously seen this far west.
