The Common Gull is a medium sized gull (adults are 40-46cm long). They look very similar to the Herring Gull but are smaller and have a shorter, more tapered bill of a more greenish shade of yellow. The bill often has a poorly-defined blackish band near the tip. The body is grey above and white below. The legs are greenish-yellow.
The Common Gull is found all through northern Europe and you are probably most familiar with this bird trying to steal your fish and chips! I spotted it from my window as it joined in the cherry gorging frenzy.
