🐦Black-headed Gull

Chroicocephalus ridibundus (Linnaeus, 1766)

De kokmeeuw (ook: kapmeeuw) (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) is een zeer algemene meeuwensoort. Vroeger werd de soort bij het geslacht Larus ingedeeld, maar aan de hand van onderzoek aan mitochondriaal DNA is gebleken dat dit niet correct is.
