Tour Scotland Video Herring Gull Preening Harbour St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland Christmas Day video of a Herring Gull preening by the harbour in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Spiralling above a fishing boat or squabbling at a harbour, Herring Gulls are the quintessential gray and white, pink legged seagull. They're the most familiar gulls of the North Sea. Herring Gulls prey on marine invertebrates, fish, insects, smaller seabirds, and even on adults, young, and eggs of other gulls. Along rocky shores, they take mussels, crabs, sea urchins, and crayfish.
