I suspect I may be in the minority of bird/wildlife photographers, but I never get tired of gulls. Ounce for ounce, minute for minute, they provide me with more hours of entertainment than many other species, with their endless antics, clever behavior, and their individual personalities.

Overcast conditions, at a nondescript boat ramp in Rumson, NJ, while an unknown couple were being married on the dock about 20 feet behind me in a small, impromptu outdoor wedding. I love nature photography...

I don't blame for being proud of this one, Neil :)

The satisfaction of the Gull is well portrayed, good wing position and sharpness. Well exposed and composed.

And lovely light also. Good job!

Great image, Neil. I love the sharpness of the Gull's face and the clam.

I like gulls, too.

I agree with you Neil, gulls are great. This one is special. It's a bit sad but I'm fond of sparrows too :o
