The influence of the foraging area on the intake of trace elements was evaluated in tissues of two species of gull: the black-headed gull (Larus ridibundus) and the herring gull (Larus argentatus). Mercury levels were higher in birds from the coastal environment than in those caught on inland dumps; birds found at one dump site showed high levels of lead. Interspecific differences in the levels of mercury and cadmium are discussed.

Abstract
The influence of the foraging area on the intake of trace elements was evaluated in tissues of two species of gull: the black-headed gull (Larus ridibundus) and the herring gull (Larus argentatus). Mercury levels were higher in birds from the coastal environment than in those caught on inland dumps; birds found at one dump site showed high levels of lead. Interspecific differences in the levels of mercury and cadmium are discussed.
