I seem to be outvoted, however, by people who are more experienced than I. :) Olivier, You agree with Gwen. <i>Larus ridibundus</i> is Black-headed gull in English, even though that isn't a translation of the name in French. What we call Laughing Gull in the US is Larus atricilla. I have no idea what you would call those in French. Gwen, I thought about both Black-headed but finally leaned toward mediterranean.
