Black-headed Gull / Lachmoewe / Chroicocephalus ridibundus

Standing in the fog with it's new binominal that is almost as long as itself. / Da steht sie im Nebel, mit dem neuen lateinischen Namen der fast so lang ist wie sie selber.

Rest after fishing?

Or after lunch somewhere in town, Remmelt... one is for sure, when we got a nice thick fog, people throwing bread up into the air at the promenade or leaving their half emptied plate on an outside table of some waterfront eastery are very rare, the bird will have actually to find a way to get a full tummy elsewhere in this peasoup. But they are used to sit on the waterfront poles anyway, as you might easyly see by the state of the top of it.. :o)

Na, wird schon noch mit der Farbe, war ja erst Februar. ;o)
Jetzt haben sie (fast) alle schwarze Koepfe und viele sind zum Brutgeschaeft auf und davon.
