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.
White-fronted Tern
White-fronted Tern, 35–43 cm, is New Zealand's most common tern, breeding on coastal and riverine sites throughout the islands. White forehead contrasts with black cap; orange-red bill. Piscivore; hovers and plunge-dives in coastal waters and off river mouths. Winters on Australian coasts.
