About These Birds

Slender-billed Gull

Slender-billed Gull, 37–40 cm, breeds in Mediterranean and Black Sea saltmarshes and lagoons, wintering on West African coasts. Distinctive long slender bill gives a front-heavy profile; white head lacking hood, pinkish-white underparts. Feeds on fish and invertebrates in shallow coastal waters.
