🐦European Herring Gull
Gråtrut (Larus argentatus) är en havsfågel inom familjen måsfåglar (Laridae). Den har vit undersida, vitt huvud, grå vingovansida, gul näbb med en röd fläck och vanligen skära ben. Fågeln förekommer i norra och västra Europa, från Barents hav till Biscayabukten i Frankrike. Den påträffas vanligen vid kuster, men framför allt i Norden uppträder den även i inlandet. Gråtruten omfattade tidigare en stor mängd gråmantlade trutpopulationer på hela norra halvklotet. Dessa urskiljs numera vanligen som egna arter. Beståndet är livskraftigt globalt, men i Finland minskar arten så pass kraftigt i antal att den numera anses vara utrotningshotad.
