Why it matters
The Mediterranean Gull is distinguished by its jet-black hood and broad, rounded wings, which distinguish it from the more common black-headed species. Once restricted to the Black Sea region, this bird has significantly expanded its breeding range across Western Europe, making it a sought-after sighting for birders and naturalists observing avian migration patterns.
