Black Headed Gull With Clouds Stock Photo

Black-headed gulls are small and one of the most abundant gulls in much of Europe and Asia, and also in eastern Canada. In summer adult birds have a chocolate-brown head (not black, although it does look black from a distance), pale grey body, black tips to the primary wing feathers, and red bill and legs. The hood is lost in winter, leaving just two dark spots. Immature birds have a mottled pattern of brown spots over most of their body.
