🕊️ Meet Israel's Yellow-Legged Gulls
🕊️ Yellow-Legged Gulls - Israel’s Coastal Companions
These are Yellow-legged Gulls (Larus michahellis), & are some of the most familiar sights along Israel’s coastline, lakes & inland wetlands.
The gulls in this photo are juveniles, easy to spot with their mottled brown & grey feathers. As they mature, their plumage will change to bright white & soft grey, along with vivid yellow legs & a distinctive red spot on their bill.
In Israel, Yellow-legged Gulls are often seen high above Mediterranean beaches, perched near Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), or gathered around fishponds. They play an important role in the ecosystem by cleaning up scraps & helping to keep environments balanced.
Their adaptability and resilience make them one of the region’s most fascinating avian residents.
