European Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) - 21Mar2023

In 2024 the Herring Gull was split into four species: American, European, Vega and Mongolian Gull.  Luckily I took some pictures on my last trip to London.  This one was happily floating on a lake in Hyde Park in the center of the city.  I recently bought the Gull Guide and plan to study it so I can potentially find North Carolina's first European Herring or Vega.  Apparently telling the early cycle birds is easier than the adults.  This one is an adult bird.
