BLACK-HEADED GULL

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY THIS WAS. THE BEST SINCE EARLY JUNE. AT LONG LAST. WENT FOR A WALK IN THE LOCAL PARK AT MIDDAY. PLENTY OF PEOPLE THERE & PLENTY OF BIRDS JUST WAITING TO BE BLIPED. THIS YOUNG BLACK-HEADED GULL HAS THE CHARACTERISTIC CHOCOLATE BROWN "HOOD". WHICH IS LOST WHEN THE NESTING SEASON IS OVER. HE LOOKS GOOD IN THE CALM WATER
