The Laughing Gull, Leucophaeus atricilla, is a medium-sized gull of North and South America. It breeds on the Atlantic coast of North America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. Northernmost populations migrate further south in winter, and this species occurs as a rare vagrant to western Europe. (There was an influx into North-west Europe in late October 2005 when at least 18, possibly as many as 35, individuals occurred on one day in the UK alone.) The Laughing Gull's English name is derived from its raucous kee-agh call, which sounds like a high-pitched laugh "ha... ha... ha...".
This species is easy to identify. It is 36–41 cm long with a 98–110 cm wingspan. The summer adult's body is white apart from the dark grey back and wings and black head. Its wings are much darker grey than all other gulls of similar size except the smaller Franklin's Gull, and they have black tips without the white crescent shown by Franklin's. The bill is long and red. The black hood is mostly lost in winter.
Laughing Gulls take three years to reach adult plumage. Immature birds are always darker than most similar-sized gulls other than Franklin's. First-year birds are greyer below and have paler heads than first-year Franklin's, and second-years can be distinguished by the wing pattern and structure.
Laughing Gulls breed in coastal marshes and ponds in large colonies. The large nest, made largely from grasses, is constructed on the ground. The 3 or 4 greenish eggs are incubated for about three weeks. These are omnivores like most gulls, and they will scavenge as well as seeking suitable small prey.
Diese Stockente habe ich zufällig am Wegesrand entdeckt.
I discovered this mallard duck by chance on the side of the road.

The real breadcrumbs were the best tasting part. Yes, they got a little mushy, but not as much as I would have thought, and after toasting them a bit, they were absolutely delicious.
This was initially identified to me as ambergris but on further investigation it turns out to be dessicated breadcrumb sponge, probably from teh tidal rapids at the mouth of Carlingford Lough.
I was so excited to try my first Italian panzanella! It tasted like... breadcrumbs. Mushy, lemon flavored breadcrumbs. At least the cucumbers and tomatoes were good. 6eu.
I find Fresh Blueberries go very well with Roasted Turkey. This a huge leg of Turkey. Roasted, coated with Parmesan, Breadcrumbs, then top again with Parmesan. Served with our own Carrots, Basil, Tomoto Pomodoro sauce. Red Christmas. - Roast Turkey Thigh Blueberries. Available this Christmas!
