When I started birding I thought this species was badly-named - it seemed to be significantly less common than the other common species of gull. Now living in Norfolk I encounter this species very easily indeed and regularly come across flocks of hundreds. Perhaps it may not be the commonest gull, but it certainly is a common gull.
