Black-headed Gull

Black-headed Gull / larus ridibundus. Derbyshire. 01/08/18.

 

Their breeding season over for another year, the Black-headed Gulls are beginning to build in number at my local lake. For birds that breed in colonies and live in large winter flocks, they never seem short of something to complain about. This moulting adult was claiming its patch raucously and seeing off all comers who fancied muscling in!
