Not quite as extreme, but a bird I saw recently (late June) here in NZ
showed similarly strange coloured legs - I have posted photos at

A similar, but younger, bird to the one Vin saw is described on
Frank O'Connor's website:

Another sub-adult bird - with black primaries - was reported by Jo Wieneke
on Birding-Aus in 1996:

(My apologies to Frank and Jo if I've stolen their thunder; they were
the relevant results from Google when searching for "silver gull" and
"yellow bill".)
