Miyakodori from Kokin Wakashu

The name 'Miyakodori' has been used for a long time, such as appearing in Kokin Wakashu. However, it seems that black-headed gulls have long been known as 'miyakodori'.

Ecology

From autumn to winter, they come to coastal tidal flats and coasts as migratory birds and winter birds. They catch and eat small animals such as shellfish and crabs on the tidal flats. Form a group and act.

Habitat

Tokyo Bay Sanbanze

This photo was taken at Sanbanze on a spring tide morning in October. As far as I could see, dozens to hundreds of them were sparsely flocked. As the tide receded, they began to forage by roaming the tidal flats. They often traveled short distances.
