Abstract

This paper presents the recent data on the distribution and breeding abundance and distribution of the Mongolian Gull, Slaty-backed Gull, Black-tailed Gull and the Common Tern nesting within Peter the Great Bay of the Sea of Japan. Over the past 30 years, all species of gulls increased their abundance, while the Common Tern has almost ceased to nest on the islands of the bay.
