Big Mouth strikes again!





Up close with a surprisingly accommodating Black-headed Gull in its' winter plumage. He looks a bit tired though!

    Hi John, what a delightful looking chap. Gulls are already so entertaining and beautiful and your captures show off a bit of personality going on. Have a great weekend~

      Thanks Mary,
      I always thin Gulls are under rated birds. They are always doing something interesting and their subtle plumage differences are beautiful!
      You too!

    that !!

      Thanks Grace, I am glad you think they are attractive birds, I thought I was in a minority!

    Hi John,

    It seems that Black-headed Gull is having a conversation with you! Superb photos, John.

    Hope you have a peaceful Sunday, my friend.

    In kindness,

    Gary

      Hi Gary,
      Many thanks my friend! It was fairly peaceful, although my nephew was a very talkative! ;)

    That's quite a mouth he's got. No wonder they can make all that noise in a group. lol
    Although I have trouble with a lot of gull ID's, I still love them. Great birds.

      Hi Keith,
      It certainly is no wonder that they make such a racket, is it! :)
      Gulls aren't easy, but it's fun to have a go!

    Amusing shots John.
    They are very underrated birds and make lovely subjects for photos.
    You were obviously boring him.{:)))

      Thanks Roy,
      I agree, especially in full adult plumage, I don't think you can get much better!
      I hope I wasn't, too much ;)

    He does look a bit tired John. Maybe he's got a Girlfriend In A Coma?

    Dear John,
    interesting: I knew that one starts to yawn if a person in our presence yawns - but your funny seagull played the trick as well! The red is great in contrast to white and soft grey.

      Hi Britta,
      I must admit, I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it! Now, I am going to have a lie down!

    Common they may be but always offer some interesting poses. Super close ups John.
