Hood on, because it's cold... - a photo on Flickriver

            Black-headed Gull…
The Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) is a small Gull that breeds in much of the Palearctic including Europe and also in coastal eastern Canada. 
Most of the population is migratory and winters further south, but some birds reside in the milder westernmost areas of Europe. The species also occurs in smaller numbers in northeastern North America, where it was formerly known as the common black-headed gull.
However, the seagull only "wears" the hood from April to July.


Lachmöwe (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)
Die Lachmöwe gehört zu den kleinen Möwenarten. Sie ist mit ihrer dunkelbraunen Kopfzeichnung, die an eine Kapuze erinnert, dem roten Schnabel und den roten Füßen sowie den hellgrauen Schwingen kaum mit einer anderen Art zu verwechseln. Die Kapuze "trägt" die Möwe allerdings nur von April bis Juli. Das Schlichtkleid der Lachmöwe kennzeichnet ein deutlicher schwarzer Ohrenfleck. Ihre Körperlänge beträgt 34-37cm, das heißt, sie ist in etwa so groß wie ein Eichelhäher.
Die Lachmöwe brütet in Kolonien. Diese liegen meist auf geschützten Inseln. Die bei anderen Arten zu beobachtende Anpassung an den Menschen, bspw. durch die Nutzung von Gebäuden als Brutplatz, ist von Lachmöwen nicht bekannt. Bis zu 200.000 rastende Lachmöwen gibt es in Niedersachsen. Im Winter weichen die hiesigen Vögel nach Südwesten aus, doch 40.000 Lachmöwen aus dem Ostseeraum überwintern bei uns, so dass man Lachmöwen ganzjährig beobachten kann.
Thanks for your Visit Views Faves and Comments, have all a Nice Week. 🌞 ✌
