Black-headed Gull (summer)

Description:

Noisy gull that in spring/summer time has a dark-brown/black head (breeding colours) as pictured. They are actually very long-lived, like many gulls, with a maximum recorded age in the wild of 63 years.

Habitat:

Not a pelagic bird, actually normally found quite far in land.

Notes:

Found this guy screeching at some other gulls on the top of a lamp post in the middle of Walton-on-the-Naze.
