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.
Damara Tern
Damara Tern, 22–24 cm, is a Vulnerable tern endemic to the Namibian and South African coast. White below, grey above, with a black cap and yellow bill. Breeds sparsely on Namibian beaches; winters north to Gulf of Guinea. Highly sensitive to coastal development and off-road vehicles.
