Chroicocephalus ridibundus
The Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) is a small gull which breeds in much of Europe and Asia, and also in coastal eastern Canada. Most of the population is migratory, wintering further south, but some birds in the milder westernmost areas of Europe are resident. Some birds will also spend the winter in northeastern North America, where it was formerly known as the Common Black-headed Gull. As is the case with many gulls, it had previously been placed in the genus Larus.

I think it was bread, it came to the water to wet it and eat.
Hmm, what's this gull eating?
Nice shot- lunchtime! Can I ask what camera you are using? Thanks
