Black-Headed Gull.

Black-Headed Gull.

Taken at Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland.

The Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) is a small gull which breeds in much of Europe and Asia, and also in coastal eastern Canada. Most of the population is migratory, wintering further south, but some birds in the milder westernmost areas of Europe are resident. Some birds will also spend the winter in northeastern North America, where it was formerly known as the Common Black-headed Gull.

    This is just wonderful, i love the detail of the gull the colour and wing textures, but more the way you have captured it in flight.

    My daughter Grace has just started to enjoy photography and I have just got her a Nikon D3000 as an early 16 birthday present, we went and tried to capture seagulls together last week and she has just seen this image and is in awe by it, but knows that one day she would like to capture one like this. Her first 2 attempts if you wish to look at it is in the youngy snappers group I help host.

  • Finbarr Reilly replied 28 days ago

    Thank you so much Karen really appreciate that,
    I checked out the captures of your Grace’s sea gull’s excellent work for a beginner, roll on many happy years of photography for her.
    All the best,
    Fino..
