The Grey-headed Gull is a widespread medium-sized gull in Africa and South America, characterized by its pale grey head in breeding plumage, red bill, and legs.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South America (Brazil, Argentina). Found along coastlines, estuaries, rivers, lakes, and even urban areas.
How to spot
Look for its pale grey head (in breeding plumage), red bill, and red legs. Often seen foraging on beaches, in harbors, or around freshwater bodies.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident ranges, as it is largely non-migratory. Breeding season varies by region.
