Lesser black-backed gulls,
Töölönlahti, Helsinki 7.8.2014,
except the last photo 11.8.2014.
These gulls winter in East Africa and
the Indian Ocean. They leave Finland in
August-October and return in April-May.

Es ist unglaublich, dass diese Vögel soweit fliegen. Auf alle Fälle ist es dort wärmer, als hier:-) Ich wünsche Dir und der Familie ein schönes Wochende, Inge

Thank you Retriever! Have a great week.
DeleteI have always thought gulls are very elegant birds, and especially love the black ones! The one on the rock, is it a mother and her young, beaks open? They look like they are have quite some conversation!

Thank you Wren! I think it was the parents with their chick. They were talking to the other gulls. I think the others came too close to the chick.
Deletemåsen blev visst störd i sin middagslur. :)
ReplyDeleteTack Monica! De andra måsarna blev för närgångna.
DeleteInteresting seeing that inter-action. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie!
DeleteHi,Gunilla. Nice captures. Your photos are very cool. I like the seventh photo very much. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Minoru!
DeleteBeautiful birds. So nice to have the exposed rock to aid in photographing them. Nice job. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gail!
DeleteHow nice of them to pose on a rock for you!
ReplyDeleteMany nice poses, but I enjoy the two having an argument. In gull talk maybe they are just saying sweet nothings!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kenneth! You never know with gulls, they're always very loud.
