This #BlackHeadedGull was most displeased when a #Raven arrived at #WWTCastleEspie this morning.

Thanks for your support!
The sun is shining and spring is clearly at our doorstep. It seemed fitting to choose this image from a #BlackHeadedGull colony for #ThrowbackThursday, even though it'll be a few more weeks before they start breading this year. I took this picture in 2008 on Baltrum.

: The black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus, syn.: Larus ridibundus) is a small gull species. With a body length of 35–39 cm and a wingspan of 86–99 cm, this species is the smallest member of the true gull family that regularly breeds in Central Europe. The black-headed gull’s range covers large parts of the northern Palearctic, from Iceland and Ireland to Kamchatka. In Central Europe, its habitat is concentrated in the coastal lowlands. Its diet includes mainly earthworms, polychaetes, crustaceans, a wide variety of insects, small fish, as well as grains and other plant seeds, and also regularly includes small vertebrates, either alive or as carrion.
: Die Lachmöwe (Chroicocephalus ridibundus, Syn.: Larus ridibundus) ist eine kleine Möwenart. Mit einer Körperlänge von 35–39 cm und einer Flügelspannweite von 86–99 cm ist diese Art der kleinste regelmäßig in Mitteleuropa brütende Vertreter der eigentlichen Möwen. Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Lachmöwe umfasst weite Teile der nördlichen Paläarktis von Island und Irland bis Kamtschatka. In Mitteleuropa liegt der Schwerpunkt des Vorkommens im küstennahen Tiefland. Zur Nahrung zählen vor allem Regenwürmer, Vielborster, Krebstiere, verschiedenste Insekten, kleine Fische sowie Getreidekörner und andere Pflanzensamen, regelmäßig auch kleine Wirbeltiere lebend oder als Aas.

The #WeekendWaterbird is a female #Mallard, being suspiciously guarded by a whole mob of #BlackHeadedGulls… she is the #DuckOfTheDay.
#melanistic or just #dirty?
This #Blackheadedgull was at @RSPB #Belfast #windowonwildlife at the weekend.
Gavina riallera encara amb el plomatge d'hivern, prompte tindran totes el cap negre. Sincerament, pense que així estan molt més guapes.
S'acosta la primavera i les gavines rialleres van adquirint el seu plomatge nupcial amb el seu característic cap negre.
Thank you to everyone that liked/boosted last weekend's Pine Marten Photo. This weekend's photo is of a Black-headed gull in flight. If you enjoy bird photography, I am in the process of refreshing the Bird Photo Galleries on my website at lauter.co.uk
While Fiadh and myself survived storm Eowyn this Black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) was not so fortunate. Found buried in the sand on Saturday morning in its white winter plumage.

The #WednesdayWaterbird is a #Cormorant, with a message from God - but the #gulls aren't interested.
