The black-headed gull is a small, common gull found in Europe and Asia. It has a distinctive summer plumage with a chocolate-brown head, white body, and grey wings with black tips. In winter, its head turns white with a dark spot behind the eye. These gulls frequent wetlands, lakes, and coastal areas, and are known for their loud, harsh calls and sociable behavior, often forming large colonies. They feed on insects, fish, and scavenged food.
