little gull

The little gull (Larus minutus) is a European seabird belonging to the gull and tern family, Laridae. It is distinguished as the smallest among the true gulls. Gulls, in general, are web-footed birds known for their robust build and are typically gray or white with variable head markings that change between breeding and winter seasons. They are adaptable and opportunistic feeders, consuming a diet that includes insects, mollusks, crustaceans, worms, fish, and even garbage. While the little gull is a European species, it has occasionally been observed in North America.123
