About These Birds

Great Black-backed Gull

Great Black-backed Gull, 61–74 cm, wingspan 142–168 cm, is the world's largest gull, breeding along North Atlantic coasts. Jet-black mantle, white body, massive yellow bill. Dominant predator among seabirds; preys on seabird chicks, puffins, rabbits, as well as scavenging. Partially 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.
