The arrival of migratory black-headed gulls in Cadiz City coincides with the city's application for Ramsar site designation for its wetlands.
The arrival of black-headed gulls in Cadiz City this December has brought renewed attention to the city's pursuit of a Ramsar site designation for its wetlands. These migratory birds, known for their striking winter plumage, are typically found in Europe and Asia. They are highly adaptable and have expanded their range, thriving in both urban and rural landscapes. While their numbers are stable, habitat loss and pollution remain threats.
