The Brown-headed Gull is a medium-sized gull found across Asia, recognized by its chocolate-brown head in breeding plumage, pale grey mantle, and red bill and legs.
Where to spot
Breeds in Central Asian highlands (e.g., Tibetan Plateau) and winters extensively along the coasts of India, Southeast Asia, and parts of East Asia.
How to spot
Look for its distinct chocolate-brown head (in summer), pale grey wings, and red bill and legs. Often seen in large flocks on beaches, mudflats, and near fishing harbors.
When to spot
Best observed during winter in coastal areas and large inland water bodies, or during spring/autumn migration along major flyways.
This species undertakes long migrations from its high-altitude breeding grounds in Central Asia to coastal wintering areas in South and Southeast Asia.
