Seven Lochs and Moodiesburn
Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus), taken by Rebecca Dickson. During the second molting cycle it is extremely hard to tell adults apart from second year birds. Typically the white mottling around the bill base is a good indicator of a second year bird, however, as this bird was observed in mid-February it could still be molting to full brown adult plumage.
