The Little Gull, as the name suggests is much smaller than the normal gulls seen in the UK. not so obvious when it is on water or land as in these photos, but when it is in the air feeding it is very acrobatic, not unlike a tern, but it tends to feed while dipping its beak in the water rather than diving. in the summer they have deep black heads and black beak, but these are losing their summer plumage now.
