About These Birds

Grey Noddy

Grey Noddy is a small tern-like seabird, 28–32 cm, found across the central and western Pacific on tropical oceanic islands. Pale grey overall with a white crown; nests colonially on ledges. Piscivore, plunge-dives for small fish near reef flats. Pelagic when not breeding.

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.
