About These Birds

Lesser Noddy

Lesser Noddy: 30–34 cm, smaller and darker than Brown Noddy with a whiter cap sharply demarcated from the dark body and a slender bill. Breeds colonially in mangroves and low bushes on islands of the tropical Indian Ocean and western Pacific. Feeds on small fish and invertebrates by dipping to sea surface. Wingspan 58–63 cm. 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.
