Larus fuscus
The lesser black-backed gull has dark grey-black wings and back and yellow legs and beak. These birds are just a bit smaller than the closely related herring gull.
The entire world's population is found in Europe and in the UK, more than half the population can be found at less than 10 sites.
Like many gulls, they are omnivores and will scavenge almost anything and everything for food.
