Cliffs from Sebber Bridge to the Head

 

A gentle looking, medium-sized gull with a small yellow bill and a dark eye. It has a grey back and is white underneath.

Its legs are short and black. In flight the black wing-tips show no white, unlike other gulls, and look as if they have been 'dipped in ink'.

After breeding birds move out into the Atlantic where they spend the winter.
