    Names are always confusing. In German, “Schwarzkopfmöwe” (lit. black-headed gull) is “Mediterranean gull” in English. Your “Black-Headed Gull” is “Lachmöwe” in German (lit. laughing gull) and your “Laughing Gull” is an “Aztekenmöwe” in German. Not sure why it has to be so confusing!

    Anyway, great photo! :>
