About These Birds
Caspian Gull
Caspian Gull, 56–68 cm, breeds around the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, wintering to the Middle East and East Africa. Long parallel-sided bill, rounded head, pale eye with yellowish orbital ring, pinkish legs. Omnivore; scavenges at landfills and forages in agricultural fields. Partially 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.
