12. Love those reflections and lines.

    …..and I’m a great fan of those ‘splashing’ images (having a few of my own).

    I think a flapping winged bird is far more interesting than a bird standing still.

    1. Thanks Vicki, the slash one is fun, If I only had my camera with me it wouls have been more detailed and clear. But all and all I am happy with it

13. Beautiful photographs of these birds, Ritva. I think the colours of the water and metal compliments the colours of the feathers in the gull.

    I’d like to share a fun fact: <a href=”https://news.nationalgeographic.org/just-a-seagull-nope/“>there’s actually no such thing as a “seagull”!</a> While it’s a common term, it’s not scientifically accurate. There are about 50 different gull species worldwide, living in various habitats – not just by the sea.

    The gull in your photo seems to be a Black-headed Gull. These birds are common across Europe and Asia, thriving in diverse environments from wetlands to city parks. They’ve even expanded to Iceland and occasionally visit North America in winter.

    I see gulls (pun intended) at Carnegie Lake in Princeton and in the parking lot at the mall. The ocean is about an hour’s drive from here.
