gull

A marsh harrier grabbed suddenly a black-headed gull amongst a large flock and held it. Suddenly was attacked from above by another marsh harrier who forced her to release the prey (these are the three photos I've uploaded). The gull, although evidently wounded and unable to fly, defended...

This setting just caught my eye...love the way the Herring gull stands out in front of this cool background

The gulls are so fun to watch

Up close and personal

This gull was not happy with me that I was taking his picture! Haha, got him anyway!

First year Herring Gull taken at Redcar, summer 2014 with my daughter's camera. Thanks to Lou Solaman for the ID!

This Bonaparte's Gull was feasting on crab for his dinner.

They're undeniable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F57P9C4SAW4

Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 5m. The weather gave some really odd lighting conditions, but this gull was amazingly tolerant of people getting close. He looks all stompy and mean, doesn't he?
