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.

Cabot's Tern

Cabot's Tern, 36–41 cm, closely resembles Sandwich Tern and was recently split; breeds along Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America, wintering to South America. Black cap, yellow-tipped black bill. Coastal piscivore; plunge-dives in shallow bays and lagoons.
