Inspired by my recent visit to the coast, here is an Entry about gulls.

Interesting entry. I always wondered, because there is no specific bird called seagull.
Not that you can do anything about it, but in my opinion the Glaucous Gull should have been (Larus glaucoides) and not (Larus hyperboreus).

Thanks for reading 
Yes, that does seem strange at first glance that the Glaucous Gull isn't (Larus glaucoides). I see that it was once known as Larus glaucus, and Larus glaucoides means 'similar to the Glaucus Gull' - I added a footnote

You're welcome.
Ah, the difference between Glaucus and Glaucoides.
I love footnotes!
