About These Birds

Blue Noddy

Blue Noddy is a tiny seabird, 25–28 cm, restricted to tropical Pacific atolls including Hawaii and Tuamotu. Pale blue-grey above, whitish below, with a distinctive pale cap. Piscivore; flutters low over lagoons picking prey from the surface. Near Threatened.

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.
