Gulls and terns
Black-Headed Gull
The title of Black-headed Gull is rather a misnomer for this bird as its head is not black but a dark brown colour and only in adult birds during the breeding season. It is not present during the winter months or in other plumages. Unlike many gulls it is not restricted to coastal regions and is widespread inland in both rural and urban areas.
Owls
Barn Owl
The most widespread owl species, Barn Owls occur as 32 subspecies on every continent except Antarctica.
