Life in a wetland colony of Black-headed gulls at nesting/hatching time. This film has no soundtrack but it is easy to imagine the noise that is going on, the birds’ red beaks opening and closing, their Latin name translating as 'laughing gull'. As the excellent shots show, these gulls, despite their common name, are brown-headed, at least during the breeding season. In winter their heads are white, with smudges of brown on each side.
