About These Birds
Lesser Black-backed Gull
Lesser Black-backed Gull, 48–56 cm, breeds across Northern Europe and Iceland, undertaking one of the longest migrations of any large gull — to winter quarters in East Africa, India, and the Gulf. Slate-black mantle, yellow legs, yellow bill with red spot. Omnivore; increasingly winters in North America.
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.
