Slender-billed Gull have to be one of the most lovely looking Gulls we have along with the Audouin’s Gull. This particular bird has lost his left leg and seems to be managing fine without it. You can see that lovely pink hue as it comes into adult breeding plumage. The pink colour may be attributed to diet as with flamingos, their diet contains a high percentage of tiny shrimps that breed in the saline waters of the salt-pans.
