Is the common gull the most common gull in the world?

The common gull, also known as the Mew gull (Larus canus), is widespread in Europe and parts of Asia and North America, but it is not the most common gull in the world. The species often considered the most common is the Western gull (Larus occidentalis) or the Ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis), depending on the region. The prevalence of gull species can vary by location, but overall, the common gull is not the most abundant globally.
