<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Great black-backed gulls in Callander, Scotland</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_black-backed_gull" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wikipedia</a>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The great black-backed gull (Larus marinus) is the largest member of the gull and tern family Laridae. It is a very aggressive hunter, pirate and scavenger which breeds on the North Atlantic coasts and islands of northern Europe and northeastern North America. Southern populations are generally sedentary, while those breeding in the far north (northern Norway, northwest Russia) migrate farther south in winter. A few also move inland to large lakes and reservoirs. The adult has a white head, neck and underparts, dark blackish-grey wings and back, pink legs and the bill yellow with a red spot.</p>
