War memorial of the 5th Battalion The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment
In the north west corner of Queens Park, with Chorley New Road visible behind. The striking thing is the length of the list of names from one battalion who died in the First World War. I am reliably informed that there are 1,012 names, though haven't counted them myself.

Black-headed Gull Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) at Queen's park Lake
Whilst its mate (Image]) flew off, this Black-headed Gull was inquisitive enough to allow me to approach more closely.
Definitely not a 'seagull', the Black-headed Gull (whose head is actually more of a chocolate-brown colour than black) is the commonest inland gull, particularly in Northern England, Scotland and Wales (http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/b/blackheadedgull/index.aspx - RSPB).
As is the case with many gulls, it had previously been placed in the genus Larus.
