The black-headed gull is our commonest small gull. During summer, it actually has a chocolate-brown head, rather than a jet-black one, which turns white for the rest of the year, #ThePhotoHour #TonyBayliss #photography #art #birds #wildlifephotography #bird_planets

Whereas the slightly larger Mediterranean gull (Ichthyaetus melanocephalus) actually has black head in its scientific name.
