Hello Hivers
Great Black-Backed Gull
This is the largest gull in the world, I spotted him from a distance due to his much larger size then the usual gulls I see.........
Their feathers were once considered fashionable and this put pressure on this Gull, but in the 1900's styles changed and this helped bring it's numbers up, that and ....
it's feeding on manmade waste, garbage dumps etc....
