Stuffed Herring Gull (Larus argentatus): grey and white, yellow bill and pale pink feet. An all year round native of britain and present in inland areas as well as on the coast. Noted for its willingness to eat almost anything, the growth of waste disposal sites has contributed to a great rise in the gull population. They are also very long-lived (up to 30 years) and breed very successfully.
