Canto e richiami di European Herring Gull

Canto e richiami sono spesso il modo più semplice per identificare European Herring Gull, soprattutto quando l'uccello è nascosto tra fitto fogliame. Ecco cosa ascoltare.

Canto

Does not have a true song. Its vocalizations are primarily calls.

Richiami

A wide repertoire of loud, raucous calls. The most characteristic is a long, drawn-out 'kyow-kyow-kyow-kyow-kyaaaah' or 'gah-gah-gah-gaaaah' often given with the head thrown back, known as the 'long call'. Also produces short 'gack' or 'yell' calls, alarm calls ('kek-kek-kek'), and begging calls from chicks ('pee-oo').

Quando vocalizzano

Vocalizes year-round, but most frequently and loudly during the breeding season, especially when defending territory or interacting with mates and chicks. Also vocalizes when competing for food or in alarm.
