Great Black-backed gulls

Explanation:
Species name (according to many bird identification books) is perhaps what you need.

Identification: With its distinguished black and white plumage and huge size, the Great Black-backed Gull is easy to distinguish from other gull species. The Great Black-backed Gull is the largest gull in the world with a wing span of 163 cm and a weight between 1.6 and 2 kg. The female is similar to male, but considerably smaller.
