Birds in Flight, flying in the clouds at flocks gulls of New Brighton, Wirral, UK Weather. Pesky gulls fly with the onshore wind over the Mersey. The screeching of seagulls is the preserve of seaside towns and the soundtrack signalling the onset of spring. After a season of gull attacks on the seafront in some resorts where beaked bandits have been swooping on holidaymakers, Natural England will issue permits for control, to "preserve public health and safety" but permits cannot be used by someone just because they are sick of the birds.

The black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) is a small gull that breeds in much of Europe and Asia, and also in coastal eastern Canada. Most of the population is migratory and winters further south, but some birds reside in the milder westernmost areas of Europe. Some black-headed gulls also spend the winter in northeastern North America, where it was formerly known as the common black-headed gull. As is the case with many gulls, it was previously placed in the genus Larus.
