I find this hugely amusing. Now could this be a female bird do you think, or a bossy foreman male? Definitely a politician amonst birds. Oddly, when I go to Scarborough, there are so many I never notice, though Cleethorpes being much smaller, they seem more noticeable somehow.

Nice sharp close up portrait image of this seagull in full squawk form. You can almost hear him!
Great clarity, focus and lighting shows his details and yellow colour of beak really well.
Thanks for sharing.

Awesome shot. Looks like he wants to make sure he is being heard. Focus and details are sharp. Great composition. Very nice lighting. Exposure is great. I like the blurred seagull in the background. Nicely done.

a great entry to the wildlife contest wit this herring gull calling his mate or just angry because you got too close; sharp focus, excellent eye contact with good exposure for the white.

Except for the top edge of the gull's head and a bit of the neck, you did an amazing job with the lighting and focus and captured quite a shot! The shot is dramatic! One can't help but wonder what this fellow is squawking about! Images like this always grab your attention. Nicely Done Nik! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

Comment from liseworks


Nice close up of this bird, sometimes they can be very annoying with there loud squawking. lol,, I find the left hand top of this photo a little bit hard to look at because of the light or blow out but noticing the birds in the background is ok as they look like they are used to the noise. His eye is looking straight at you like your the source of his call
