Gull frenzy

What's going on here?

A quick visit to Holbeck Hill, Scarborough known for its Mediterranean Gulls, last weekend, not great light and very little time. I will do this properly soon.

I quite like the Black Headed gulls coming down in layers like the paras. Maybe I prefer the coloured shot but I thought I would submit a black and white version.

The circled bird is an adult med, yes bread is playing its part drawing the birds in.

The adult med gull is plum centre in the last shot on that artistic table top (I mean waste bin top). I always think the meds are ferocious in the grab the bread stakes.

There will be plenty more shots of our meds soon, hopefully some decent ones in good light!

These are great Mike, gulls make good subjects for this.

Hi Mike,
I think I prefer the coloured one of the two, it is almost black and white anyway, but I like the way the red legs and bills are picked out!

I absolutely love the colour one of the two Mike. It's great how the birds are all similarly posed. It's a beauty.
