The #bird equivalent of an old man walking with his hands clasped behind his back for #Birbsday

Also, I just learned that #blackHeadedGulls only have a black head in their summer plumage. Oh, and in German, they're called #Lachmöwe – laughing gull – which is a literal translation of their Latin name. And now shuffle on, old man, there are some clouds that demand shaking your fist at!

Lach- und Schwarzkopfmöwen kehren im Frühjahr in ihre Brutgebiete im Donaudelta zurück. Sie unterscheiden sich vor allem durch Kopfzeichnung und Ruf. Ihre Kolonien liegen oft auf Inseln oder schwimmender Vegetation. Das ständige Rufen begleitet meine Bootsfahrt durch die Wasserlandschaft.

Nauravat lokit ovat seuranamme kesän. – The laughing gulls are with us for the summer.
(04/2026)
Naurulokin tieteellinen lajinimi on larus ridibundus ja ridibundus tarkoittaa "nauravaa" (lat. ridere = nauraa). Larus tulee kreikan sanasta laros, jolla tarkoitettiin lokkia tai jotain muuta merilintua. (lähde: Wikipedia)

In Finnish a black-headed gull is named a laughing gull, which comes from genus name larus ridibundus. Ridibundus means "laughing" (Latin ridere = to laugh). Larus comes from the Greek word laros, which meant a seagull or some other seabird. In English the black-headed gulls genus name is chroicocephalus ridibundus. Chroicocephalus is from the Ancient Greek words khroizo, "to colour", and kephale, "head". (source: Wikipedia)

Naurulokin taitava sukellus, saalis jäi kyllä laihanlaiseksi. – The black-headed gull's skillful dive, the catch was meager.

Black-headed gulls sizing each other up the other day. Or perhaps it's courtship. A summer day at the coast would feel somewhat lacking without these gulls making a ruckus nearby.
