About These Birds
Common Gull
Common Gull, 40–46 cm, is a medium-sized gull breeding across boreal Europe and Asia, wintering on Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Smaller and more dove-like than Herring Gull; yellow-green bill without red spot. Omnivore; follows ploughs, forages on shorelines and playing fields. 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.
