See you! Gull

Every April, the head of the gull turns black. This is a sign that it is near to fly away from Japan and return to his hometown. So what was the original figure?…

It comes in early winter every year and travels in spring.

It is often found in the Sumida River and Tokyo Bay, and is also the origin of the name "Shin Kotsu Yurikamome" connecting Shimbashi-Odaiba area and Toyosu. Urica plum is also a bird of the Tokyo people. Although it is a familiar Japanese plum tome for Tokyo residents, it does not nest here and returns to northern areas such as the Kamchatka Peninsula in the spring.

When I came to Japan in early winter, what was the original figure of the gull?…。
