Description
The gull is a familiar sight by the seaside, and one of the most recognisable bird species. Yet, despite their ubiquity, many people know surprisingly little about the lives and habits of these seafaring birds. This comprehensive overview of the gull, part of the New Naturalist library, sets out to rectify this knowledge gap. With over 50 known species of gulls, ranging from well-adapted urban dwellers to more elusive coastal residents, this book offers a detailed exploration of the gull's physical and genetic characteristics, as well as their distribution, lifecycles, and behaviours. Colour photography throughout provides a visual showcase of the variation within the gull group, making this book a pleasure to browse. By examining the gull's relationships with their environment and human world, this book provides a nuanced understanding of these fascinating birds, and is sure to appeal to anyone interested in nature, birdwatching, or the natural world.
