See... he's OK Ella
The gull gave up on trying to climb up the roof and came back to investigate the food on the other one.

Ella was concerned he'd only got one leg, but you can see he's complete.

A beautiful image of this healthy Gull D. Did you put a heart next to its head or is that something else??

Yes, he's no unidexter but is kitted out with the full complement of legs, to wit, two. It's a delightful image Delia, though they're perhaps not the most beautiful of gulls at that age!

Actually I imagine a gull would not last very long at all on one leg. Feral pigeons can manage quite well if they're lucky, of course.
 
They are interesting though I used to watch the Ocean Birds on the docks and many times they would stay on one leg. Laughing out loud, Delia, he is complete. Great shot, my friend.
