Russian Herring Gull Larus argentatus argentatus: Breeding bird of northern Norway and the coast of NW Russia (Murmansk area). This gull used to be the most numerous Herring Gull along the Dutch coast in winter but has gradually been replaced by the Dutch Herring Gull Larus argentatus argenteus as breeding numbers of the latter rocketed after WW II. Adult birds arrive from late July onwards and undergo a complete moult in the North Sea area.
