Of the great black-backed gulls in their black coats certainly more than a thousand individuals have stayed for winter in Estonia. Here is a brief introduction to the biggest gull species in the world: the large wings of the great black-backed gull are bordered with a prominent white band and have a span of more than one and a half metres. The head is white, the beak yellow and the feet a light sand colour. It is always associated with the sea, and a fish-eater. Proud, contrasting and majestic in the winter seascape.
