The Lesser Black-backed Gull is a medium to large bird found primarily in Europe and parts of Asia. It has a distinctive dark gray to black back and wings, contrasting with its white body and yellow legs. This species is known for its sharp, yellow bill with a black spot, which helps it catch fish and scavenging for food.
These gulls typically breed in colonies on coastal cliffs and islands. They are migratory, spending winters along the coasts of Africa and South America. The Lesser Black-backed Gull is often seen near beaches, lakes, and urban areas, where it adapts well to human presence.
