Chroicocephalus hartlaubii
Hartlaub's Gull is 36–38 cm in length. The Hartlaub's Gull takes two years to reach maturity. Although it is predominantly coastal or estuarine, it is not a pelagic species. It is a non-migratory breeding resident endemic to the Atlantic Ocean coastline of South Africa and Namibia.
Hartlaub's Gull has accommodated well to humans, and can become very tame around habitations and is rarely seen at sea far from land
