About These Birds
Glaucous Gull
Glaucous Gull, 62–68 cm, is an imposing all-white Arctic gull — no dark markings on wing tips. Breeds across the High Arctic and ventures south in winter to both sides of the North Atlantic and Pacific. Predator and scavenger; preys on seabird eggs and chicks at colonies. Powerful aggressive kleptoparasite.
African Skimmer
African Skimmer: 36–42 cm, black-and-white skimmer with a long bright orange-yellow bill where the lower mandible is longer than the upper. Flies low over large rivers and lakes, cutting the water surface with the lower bill to catch fish. Resident and partial migrant along large rivers and lakes of sub-Saharan Africa. NT.
