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.
Sabine's Gull
Sabine's Gull, 27–32 cm, is an elegant small gull breeding in Arctic tundra and wintering in the Humboldt and Benguela Current upwellings. Striking tricoloured wing pattern — dark primaries, grey secondaries, white inner wing. Long-distance migrant; crosses equator twice annually. Planktivore and piscivore.
