About These Birds

Whiskered Tern

Whiskered Tern, 23–25 cm, is a marsh tern breeding from Europe and Africa to Asia and Australia. Breeding plumage: dark grey below, black cap, red bill. Forages over freshwater marshes, dipping for insects and small fish. Short-distance migrant; winters in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

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.
