Animal Kingdom

Chordate Phylum: Birds: The herring gull

This gull is found all along the coasts of Europe and often far inland. They are large birds having a wingspan of 55 cm. They are scavengers feeding on what they can find along the seashore. Out at sea they will follow ships, especially fishing boats and inland they will feed at rubbish dumps. This bird has benefited from human activity.
