    29 May 2004 , Bang Pu, At this time of any year , many resident species of waterbird of Thiland are in breeding season .Onshore Bang Pu, there is one colony of many species in the mangrove forest.

Only one Black-headed Gull that I found.
 

 
 

The Black-headed Gull was far from pier more than 100 metres in the west.
I captured it by x60 digiscope. 
        Before I came here ,I didn't think to find gull but I could discover them , 1 Black-headed Gull , and
1 Brown-headed Gull . Both gulls made me surprising , because this non-breeding season gulls were absent from Bang Pu since 6 May . Especialy Black-headed Gull , I have not found them since April in any year.Last date of Black-headed Gull in my record was found 30 March 2004.
