		Head and upper part of neck all round, greyish-black, that colour extending half an inch lower on the throat than on the occiput.
		One, having a dark bluish nearly black head, was found to be the male; the other, with a brown head, was a female.
		The flight of this Gull is light, elevated, and rapid, resembling in buoyancy that of some of our Terns more than that of most of our Gulls, which move their wings more sedately.

	Black-headed, or Laughing Gull
		The males of all the Gulls with which I am acquainted, are larger than the females; and this difference of size is observable in the young birds even before they are fully fledged.
		These Gulls are extremely anxious about their eggs, as well as their young, which are apt to wander away from the nest while yet quite small.
		These Gulls follow the Brown Pelicans to their roosts, and along with them sit on grounded logs, at some distance from the shores, to avoid the attacks of racoons and other carnivorous animals.

	Bonaparte's Gull, Solution of Euro Quiz #1, Birding Israel
		This juvenile Little Gull, seen alongside an adult winter Bonaparte's Gull, offers a fascinating comparison between the two species and I was surprised to see how brown and washed out the juvenile plumage of this Little Gull appeared in comparison to the much blacker appearance of European birds of a similar age.
		We also had a handful on entries for Mediterranean Gull (Larus melancephalus), Brown-headed Gull (Larus brunicephalus), Grey-headed Gull (Larus cirrocephalus) and Sabine's Gull (Larus sabini) but all the entries received were for the smaller, dark hooded gulls.
		The plumage of this Bonaparte's Gull, which is predominantly juvenile moulting into its first-winter, is possibly unlikely to be recorded in Europe though the species itself is being found with increasing frequency, especially in Britain where there have been at least 113 records up the end of 2001.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from Sri Lanka
		When we headed back to Nuwara Eliya we made a stop at the railway station of Pattipola, a known site for the Hill Swallow and low and behold there it was sitting on a utility cable leading to a house.
		In the late afternoon we headed another time to Yala, although to a different area and amongst the most noteworthy birds seen were Oriental Turtle-Dove, Asian Drongo-Cuckoo, large numbers of Forest Wagtails flying to their roosting site, Orange-headed Thrush, a male White-rumped Shama lured into view by playback and Common Woodshrike.
		We made another walk in this area and found the nest of a pair of Black-throated Munias, as it turned out the only ones of the trip.

	Sketch: Black-Headed Gull
		There are a number of black headed gulls but the great thing about this one is that, once out of juvenile brownish plumage, it has a gleaming white leading edge to the outer wing - diagnostic.
		Nor, during the winter does it have a black head and, if you look hard in the summer you will realise it should best be called the 'Dark-chocolate-headed Gull'.
		Neither is it the Laughing Gull - but that is what its Latin name means.

	Woodburne gull
		On closer inspection, however, it didn't have the right head shape or markings for that species, but showed a much rounder head, wrongly positioned black on the head, and in flight lacked the dark underside of the primaries with black crossing the wingtip instead.
		On the upper side of the wing the tip does not appear to be crossed by black, but the tips of the feathers are black, and again, a white triangle is suggested.
		Not so clear are the suggestions of darkish under the primaries (compared to the secondaries and wing linings, at least), and the hint of a white triangle in the outermost primaries.

	- Black-headed Gull
		Black-headed Gulls become garden visitors predominantly during the coldest winter weather, taking the opportunity to scavenge food put out for other birds when their own natural food becomes temporarily unavailable.
		Black-headed Gulls mainly feed on animal material such as insects and earthworms but they will also take plant material and household waste.
		This is the gull most frequently seen in urban and suburban gardens and is seldom given a second thought when seen in city centres during winter.
