Black headed Gull

Of all our gull species, the black-headed gull is most likely to be seen in the company of rooks and jackdaws.

After break-time and lunch- time every day we see flocks of black-headed gulls in our school yard, where they feed on left over bread and buns.

We also see them regularly in the Fairgreen and the school pitch.

In spite of their name black headed gulls acquire a dark brown hood which is a major feature in its broad array of courtship displays.

Black-headed gull in winter.

Black headed gulls are abundant throughout Ireland. In winter the dark brown hood is replaced by a mark behind the eye.
