Thanks for the series of photos here. I can see why this one is different from the Laughing, Franklin's or Sabine's Gulls. Excellent pictures of the subject gull.
I think that in general gulls are an overlooked family. This bird in breeding plumage looks very handsome indeed. How wonderful to find it at the market.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I will return your visit (if I haven't visited you already), but please be patient. I might not be able to do so until the weekend. Take care!

DeleteHe is in very smart plumage now but still as noisey.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret!

DeleteEvery time it has it's mouth open you see a red heart, what a wonderful looking gull, and you must smile when you see them ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary! It's very entertaining to follow their antics, but they're a noisy lot.

ReplyDeleteThank you David! We have lots of them here and they aren't well liked in general.
DeleteGreat serf shots. I could almost hear its boisterous call through the images.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shey!
DeleteI meant great set of shots. :)
