I love Seagulls, I can watch them for hours. They are pretty funny the things they do for food. They are awesome birds.

I love the absolutely hard facedness of them. They are such cheeky buggers

Thank you. I love birds but often cannot, with confidence, identify them. Such videos are very helpful to me.

Yea and they also has the cutest sounds

I've been studying the ring Bill Seagull for over 18 years ~ it took me many years to realize the sex and the age! What you call Winter stages of one two three four five ~ I've only wanted to be influenced by the seagulls themselves not from others teaching me! Today I've learned some new things from others here on KZread about seagulls! I'm fortunate that I have learned much of their language! I have also learned that they have sign language when they fly and also feet language! I have discovered with the ring bills it's one of the hardest life's to live as a bird! Unless you're being shot at! Thank you for your knowledge maybe one day I'll be able to teach mine!

I thought I was as good as I could be at identifying laridae species but after watching this I see where I was lacking knowledge! Thank you for the information 🙏

I so enjoy watching the Seagulls on video. I love Seagulls. PRINCESS MARIA SVIATOPOLK- MIRSKI/STRATFORD EAST LONDON.

Thankyou to all involved in making this video happen.. This is very useful and very nicely done thankyou.

Argh Gulls. My kryptonite. This should help, thank you BTO.

Many thanks for this video and all the others that you have put together. I'd love to see a yellow-legged & lesser black backed gull comparison.

Thanks. We have one on the black-backed gulls [ kzread.info/dash/bejne/nY6tr9eqhpDSabw.html ] but have yet to tackle the thornier issue of Lesser Black-backed cf. Yellow-legged. We'll consider adding this to the to-do list, though!

Thank You!!!

Good .. very ..I min very good😀👌👌👌

Came here after I saw a mako shark lunge out of the water and gulp down a swimming gull on my vacation in Florida lol

I notice there are less around than about a month ago in the UK, what is their migratory habits?

That's easy, but how do you tell Larus argentatus from L. michahellis and L. cachinnans?

Any useful tips on that, dear BTO?

There are great finches in the park near me that will land on my hand if I put food on it

Are those yellow legs on the lesser black-backed gull? I see one like that in the park regularly, among the herring gulls.

Late reply but yes they have yellow legs. Not to be confused with the European version of the Herring Gull, the Yellow Legged Gull, whose back is more similar to Common Gull in colour. I'd be surprised if a vagrant Yellow Legged was at your park though. If it's noticeably dark-backed and yellow-legged, it's a Lesser Black Backed.

I live in Venice and i love sea gulls

BTOvideo yes but what 'is their language?' In my work I travel outside 3-4 hours every night and hear seagulls start their nightly routines of singing and making different sounds. I'd like to know what they're saying, is there any reference to what it is different seagull species are trying to convey to eachother?

@nickmoran182

The best place to start would be a reference work such as The Birds of the Western Palearctic, which includes considerable information about when and how different vocalisations are used, particularly for well-studied groups such as gulls.

A video on sparrowhawk and goshawk would be nice ;)

Sure! In the meantime, there are some great comparison (still) images on the Birds in Flight website: (Northern) Goshawk - birds-in-flight.net/?p=6554 and (Eurasian) Sparrowhawk - birds-in-flight.net/?p=6570

Lesson 1: Never call them seagulls

i love seagulls #seagullsrule

Mean ass birds. They're all over the place where I live and they will stalk you if you are eating at the park my house. Lol.

I live on the S.E. coast of the UK, its said that herring gulls are endangered species, I don’t believe that they are numerous here growing in numbers every year. They say the cause is lack of food for them, Nonsense! they eat anything and everything, in our local park the ducks don’t get much of a look in.

thats not a gull, thats a seagull

Herring Gulls are terrible. These birds have basically evolved. They invaded the cities and became predators killing pigeons, swifts, ducklings and they weirdest thing is that they overfly the city at night making those annoying chirps all night long. Between March and August they're absolutely unbearable. I've never seen the common gulls instead, I guess they still live by the sea and they live off of fishing.
