Slender-billed Gull

Chroicocephalus genei

Least Concern

The Slender-billed Gull is a gull, tern, or skimmer of Mediterranean and nearby western Palearctic wetlands and coasts. It feeds around water on fish, crustaceans, insects, carrion, or scraps; terns often plunge-dive, gulls patrol coasts and lakes, and skimmers cut the water surface with an elongated lower bill.
