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.

Franklin's Gull

Franklin's Gull, 32–36 cm, makes one of the longest overland migrations of any gull, breeding on prairie marshes of North America and wintering on Pacific coasts of South America — a journey of 12,000+ km. Rosy-flushed underparts in spring; black hood with distinctive white eye-crescents. Insectivore.
