Black and white and Shades of Grey

This pretty little chap posed on a wall outside Pitlochry.
(I am not too good at recognising birds but I think it may be a black headed gull..?)

Many thanks Helena. Fortunately he stayed put whilst I took the camera out. I generally only get the tail feathers as they flee the scene! Lol! Have a lovely weekend

As Roy says you are correct.
The black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) is a small gull which breeds in much of Europe and Asia, and also in coastal eastern Canada. Most of the population is migratory, wintering further south.
Many Danish Black Headed Gulls spend their winters in Thailand at Bang Poo Samut Prakan nature reserve.

You are most welcome Carol.
I have an Album of photos from that place in Thailand, My friends and I went there one day.
It seemed to be a very popular place for both Tourists and Thais wanting to feed the birds.
Brollies were needed.
