(6 images) Yellow-legged Gull michahellis 3cy, February 06-09 2003, Etaples, NW France (50.42N,1.34E).
A typical 3cy michahellis, showing plain grey scapulars (except two rear lowest scapulars) and a mix of grey wing-coverts and central tertials combined with older abraded barred wing-coverts. By February, the colour of the bare parts is still immature, but within two months, the base of the bill and the legs will turn bright yellow after the partial moult in spring. All head-streaking will disappear as well, leaving birds with clean white head and under-parts.
