BIRD NEWS:52



Just looking at these few photos that I took of this group of cygnets, you can see quite clearly the various personalities emerging, I feel. The curious one, the daydreaming one, the mother-clutcher, the pretty one...



Mother and young floated about while we looked down, observing for some minutes. The brown-headed black-headed gulls - which are rare but possible to sight in the US (see HERE ) and now apparently even possible to sight in Australia (see HERE) looked at us...




More facts about the black-headed gull can be found HERE.
and HERE TOO.

Whilst similar to the Mediterranean gull, the latter has a real black black head as opposed to the chocolate colored head of the black-headed gull.

    Those chocolate-headed gulls look like they enjoy posing for the camera.
