It is likely the most common small gull appearing in our country. It can be spotted at the Baltic Sea, however, the pictures taken, were made at a lake, near a busy road. Very grateful species to photograph. It is very dynamic so exercising your reflexes and predeterming birds behavior gives a variety of possibilities in this case. It weighs around 300 grams with a wingspan of a nearly 1 meter.

Black-headed Gull is probably the most common gull in our country. Almost all pictures of this bird were taken by accident, when I was shooting other species. However, in September when I was shooting birds in passing on the Polish coast I was able to "snap" one picture to which I will probably keep coming back. Gulls strolling on the beach at sunrise noticed a man hidden under the camouflaged net. Two seagulls taking their wings for a flight, lit by a faint orange light of the rising sun, giving out warning cries are shown in attached photo in that moment when they discovered my shelter. There was no time for recording, but a few images complemented my gallery.

Black-headed Gulls feel so at home in our country that you can perhaps photograph them near every water reservoir, and what is worse, at garbage dumps. They were very watchful, especially when they saw that some other bird had caught something. They would immediately fly up to it, trying to take over the prey from the hunter. Recently, while waiting for other species, I have had many opportunities to take dynamic photos of this bird.

We were waiting in our lookout point for a lesser spotted eagle, and here, from time to time a black-headed gull was appearing making noises. So I have the better recording of its voice and some pictures have been exchanged in the gallery.

This time I was not happy with their presence in front of the lens. I photographed curlews and for their time I had literally minutes when it was possible to take a picture of them, and here they - the Bleck-heded Gulls - entered the frame everywhere. Many photos ended up in the trash because of them. Later the roles were reversed, after the departure of the curlews there were times when only they were in front of the lens and then they were welcome.
