The Lesser Black-backed Gull, Larus fuscus, in Greenland
ABSTRACT. The lesser black-backed gull (Larus fuscus) became a frequent visitor in Greenland in the mid-1980s. Breeding was confirmed in 1990, and today the species is a common breeder in at least two areas in Southwest Greenland between 60 ˚ and 66 ˚ N. The current breeding population is estimated...
