These shy and somewhat elusive little birds don't usually hang around to get there pictures taken, I'm thinking he was spying something very tasty in the river and not bothering to see Bill out there with his camera.

Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA	quotePosted at 14:41 on 6th April 2009 It is indeed a Black-headed Gull Gemm. The males and females are practically identical, with the males being slightly larger. This is a bird in it's breeding plumage, because his/her black head is chocolate brown. Oh, and during the winter the black head is replaced by a white head with a black spot over it's ears. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

It only develops these markings between feb-aug each year then revert to its winter markings. The bird in the picture is at least two years old. Regards Roy J.
