Black-headed Gulls
Taken on a very dull day (also it looks a bit underexposed, now that I've posted it). I've no idea what it is they're squabbling over, let's hope the winner enjoyed it.

Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding!

A brilliant double aerial image of these two Gulls John and so beautifully captured guy!
 
Even though if we had a soundtrack, it would all be shrieking and noisy drama - there’s something very graceful and peaceful about this image - maybe it’s the soft colours, the posture of the birds or just the great composition of forms. Really nice shot.
