The Grey Gull is a distinctive medium-sized gull found along the Pacific coast of South America, unique for its uniformly pale grey plumage in all seasons, making it stand out from other gulls.
Where to spot
Primarily found along the Pacific coast of Peru and Chile. Breeds far inland in the Atacama Desert.
How to spot
Look for its remarkably uniform pale grey plumage, lacking any distinct white or black wingtips common in other gulls. Its overall 'ghostly' appearance is a key identifier.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round along the coast. Breeding season typically occurs from October to February in the desert interior.

This gull has an unusual breeding strategy, nesting far inland in the Atacama Desert, hundreds of kilometers from the coast, and commuting daily to feed at sea.
