About These Birds
Little Gull
Little Gull, 25–30 cm, is the world's smallest gull, breeding in Eurasian wetlands and wintering on Atlantic coasts. Breeding adult has a full black hood; underwing is uniformly dark — unique among gulls. Feeds on insects over water in summer, small fish and invertebrates in winter.
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.
