About These Birds

Brown Noddy

Brown Noddy: 38–45 cm, wingspan 75–86 cm, chocolate-brown tropical tern with a white cap fading to grey on the forehead and a wedge-shaped tail. Highly abundant colonial seabird nesting on oceanic islands and coral atolls throughout tropical and subtropical oceans. Plunge-dives for small fish and invertebrates. Long-lived. Partly migratory.

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.
