Chroicocephalus ridibundus
Norwegian name: Hettemåke
It seems the scientific name is Chroicocephalus ridibundus , and that it was formerly named Larus ridibundus. Thanks for the clarification :-)
@Birqitte this is breeding form of bird plumage...

Yes, it is another name for the same bird. You can edit this spotting and add either Larus ridibundus or Chroicocephalus ridibundus to the scientific name. For more details on the bird you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-heade...

I'm not sure but is Larus ridibundus the same bird, just different name?
