[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Herring Gull, Larus argentatus, is a large gull (up to 26 inches or 66 cm long), and is the most abundant and best known of all gulls along the shores of Asia, western Europe, and North America.[1] It breeds across North America, Europe and Asia. Some Herring Gulls, especially those resident in colder areas, migrate further south in winter, but many are permanent residents, e.g. those on the lower Great Lakes, on the east coast of North America or at the North Sea shores. Herring Gulls are also abundant around inland garbage dumps, and some have even adapted to life in inland cities.

Hello Siegfried,

This is such a typical pose of these noisy birds and you have captured it to perfection!
Wonderfully sharp focus on this clever crop to display all the colour and textural details.

Ha,ha! You can almost see what it had for its breakfast!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Impressive photo, right moment.

Cześć Siegfried,
musi być głodna albo śmieje się. Myśle, że raczej to pierwsze. Dobrze "ustrzelony" ptaszek o żarłocznym wzroku. Jak tak sobie ta mewa patrzy to wydaje się, że zjadła by wieloryba.

Hi Siegfried,
this is a very ferocious one, you depicted it very well.
Excellent clarity and well focussed on the face.
Well details, the feathers and its expression.

Foozi
