Dozens of black-headed gulls have found their new wintering spot at Zunyi City of southwest China's Guizhou Province.

The black-headed gulls come from Siberia to southwest China for wintering. Most of the birds fly to Kunming City in Yunnan Province. As the environment improves in Guizhou's Zunyi City, the black-headed gulls are visiting here since last winter.

In summer, an adult gull will have a chocolate-brown head, pale gray body, black tips to the primary wing feathers, and red bill and legs. The hood is lost in winter, leaving just two dark spots.
