Black-headed Gull, Larus ridibundus © Arthur Grosset © Arthur Grosset This photo shows that, in summer plumage, the head is dark brown rather than black. The other features of note are the bright red legs and the red bill with dark tip. © www.ecosystema.ru/ The Black-headed Gull only acquires its black head during the breeding season. As the next photo show, out of the breeding season it has a white head with a prominent dark ear spot as well as a dark smudge running vertically through the eye. © Arthur Grosset The Black-headed Gull
