A photo from my archives of a Black-headed gull. You can read all about them here.
Here is a little info about them. Black-headed gulls are native to Norway but are a common sight in Europe and Asia, and are highly adaptable to a variety of habitats.
In breeding season, black-headed gulls have a dark chocolate brown to blackish frontal hood, white eye-crescents, and a while neck. In winter, their head turns a dusky white.
Most black-headed gulls migrate and spend the winter further south, but some remain in the milder westernmost areas of Europe.
Other gull species found in Norway include: Common gull, Great black-backed gull and Black-legged kittiwake, Lesser black-backed gull and Little gull.

Thank you very much for visiting and I hope your day is a great one.
How gorgeous!
