Little Gull - Hydrocoloeus minutus Yesterday two of these birds were feeding flying on the water surface of a small dam near Sofia. This was a big surprise; it is rare for this species to visit inland lakes, and I don't know when it was spotted here before.

The Little Gull

The Little Gull is a small gull which breeds in northern Europe and Asia. It also has small colonies in parts of southern Canada. It is migratory, wintering on coasts in western Europe, the Mediterranean and the northeast USA; in recent years non-breeding birds have summered in western Europe in increasing numbers.
