Black-Headed Gull - Larus ridibundus

            Breeds over a huge area of central Europe and Scandinavia. Come summer in the breeding season the adults will have a dark chocolate brown head, never quite sure why its called a Black-Headed Gull when the head is brown though. For the record there is actually no bird species that exist that is called a seagull. The word seagull is an informal way of referring to any of the gull species that belong to the family 'Lanridae'.
