Nice pict though!

Looks like he's singing an aria in the top shot. And as if he's accepting a warm ovation in the second. I know you said it's a different bird but ...

I picture them more as husband and wife.

And I picture them as food traffic and safety controllers.

Oh boy, these are just superb shots, VP! The first one is priceless...perfect timing...I don't think I've ever seen such a shot...

Gulls are rather regal scavengers!

I can hear the call in that first photo. Very nice shot!

I love the top picture with the open beak, very nice.

The first shot is so great!

VP said...

@ brattcat - I'm not sure the bird is a different one, probably he's following me...

I love gulls. It's only inconvenient if something lands on you or your car, but I love to look at them! These are great gull photos. With the mouth open, that's hard to get. Good job!

We get them here too, they're real thugs!

I've snapped many a gull picture but never one of it talking. Well done.
