About These Birds
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.
Yellow-legged Gull
Yellow-legged Gull, 52–68 cm, is the large gull of Mediterranean and Atlantic Iberian coasts. Yellow legs distinguish it from the pink-legged Herring Gull; darker grey mantle. Omnivore; highly adaptable — increasing in urban areas and landfills across southern Europe and North Africa.
