If Fulmar can be gulls - how about Terns?

Arctic Terns do battle on Inner Farne...

Mike,

Is that fishing line and hook caught in it's beak? If so, hopefully somebody can catch it and remove.

Not necessarily young ones but winter plumaged. They should be getting their black hoods about now. (Brown hoods really but they are called black headed gulls)

 

[Jelster]

Hi Vince, yes, always makes me laugh... Black Headed Gulls, which are actually brown, except when they're white

I thought they were juveniles because of the brown marks on the wings & tail.....

 

[Graham]

Heres my shot, yes I know its a carp shot, darn thing decided to take to the skies just as i was about to click the shutter.
Its a Black headed Gull btw.


And heres a hi key shot from Monaco, its one of them big buggers
