| Common Gull (Larus canus) (aka Mew Gull) |
||
| Scotland The Common Gull breeds in northern Europe, across northern Asia and into Alaska and north-west Canada. In winter it moves south or disperses internally as in the British Isles. Unlike most gulls it seems equally at home inland on moors as it is on the coast. |
||
| It is a lot smaller than Herring Gull Larus argentatus and slightly larger than Black-headed Gull Larus ridibundus. It has a smaller head than Herring Gull and looks "friendlier". The second photo is, I think, a second summer bird showing a yellowish-grey bill with a black tip. |
