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.
Grey Gull
Grey Gull, 45–48 cm, breeds in the Atacama Desert of Chile, one of the driest places on earth, nesting far from the coast. Uniform grey body, white head in breeding plumage. Each night adults fly 70–100 km to Humboldt Current coast to feed on fish and invertebrates before returning to chicks.
