Observation details
At first it was sitting on the lake quite a ways from shore. At distance, appears tiny, with very dark, almost black back colouration, with an almost-full hood on face , head and nape. It then flew close to us and joined the other gulls in insect-catching above trees before it finally rested on the rocky point for a few minutes. Dark cap with a fuzzy spot behind its eye, dark back, much darker than any other gull around. In flight, dark, full carpal bars are very obvious, with dark band along its tail as well. Bill small. Very striking bird, both resting and especially in flight.
