Finally the White-throated Dipper has arrived from it´s northern summer habitat. I did see two of them. Probably a couple. They are great birds and fun to watch when they dive for food.

To answer Margarets question, this is the northern bird. From UK sown to Italy the bird is more brown. And scientific name is gularis, aquaticus.

Skrattmås - Larus ridibubdus - Black-headed Gull

NF Photo  130517 Djulö Kvarn, Katrineholm

A very common gull but this one was differently colored in the head. And it was alone!
I don´t know if it is a Leucistic or just not finished it´s plumage.

This event gave me a good laugh. To their disappointment I had no food with me.
Have fun! :)
