One legged bird photos

This must be of healthy birds which you found missing a leg. Here is my first (I will have to try to find it again). A black headed sea gull from London, UK

Nice shot. Unfortunately, I see too many of these either with no leg, or a deformed one. Sometimes looks like a birth issue, others because of a battle with other wildlife, or a fishing line.

I have never seen one before, would you agree in this case it looks healthy? Considering that it is still alive at the end of winter the prospects should be good.

Totally agree - it looks very healthy. I do get tricked sometimes in that gulls often enough fly with one leg hidden.
