gullery
Coastal nesting grounds
A gullery is a breeding colony of gulls—a place where large numbers of seabirds gather to nest, typically on coastal cliffs, islands, or protected shorelines.
The term parallels rookery for crows or heronry for herons.
The island's gullery draws thousands of birds each spring.
