About These Birds
Kelp Gull
Kelp Gull, 54–65 cm, is the dominant large gull of the Southern Hemisphere, found on all sub-Antarctic and southern temperate coasts. Jet-black back, white body, yellow bill with red spot. Omnivore; forages on rocky shores, follows fishing boats, and preys on penguin eggs. Resident and sedentary.
Mediterranean Gull
Mediterranean Gull, 36–38 cm, has expanded dramatically since the 1970s, breeding across Europe from the Black Sea to Britain. Pure white body, jet-black hood in breeding plumage — the only gull with entirely white wingtips. Piscivore and invertivore; nests in colonies, often with Black-headed Gulls.
