Black headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) in flight with nesting materials, Rye Harbour Nature reserve. Black headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) in flight with nesting materials. The area is situated at present on a shingle which is slowly carrying more vegetation as the site develops from the extensive management program. The Gulls are industrious and make use of all the materials available in as short a flight as possible from the nest. Common visitor to the garden. Adaptation into urban areas appears to date only to the 'Little Ice-Age', a run of cold-winters in the 1880s and 1890s. Factory workers would feed the birds scraps during their lunch hours.
