Do you know why it is called a laughing gull? I must say I had to smile at that head colour in contrast to the rest of the plumage!
Their calls sound very much like laughter. Their plumage changes according to age and breeding or not breeding stages. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks for that, thought it might be the reason.
