    Nice eye contact, and love the BG. Main problem here is you need more separation of the wing from the head, looks like the bird was a little bit past you also.

    I like the look-back pose and angle and wish the bird were flying toward you. Generally speaking it looks better if the wings are either up or down. Keep them coming!

    Default information about the leg band as requested

    Hi Richard

    ofcourse, be glad to give information

    the Baltic Gull J20E was ringed in Norway on 22.06 2007 as an adult 4th calander year
    this is part of a major gulls ringing in europe mainly Norway and Finland but also in some other EU countries
    the gull was seen in israel first time on 20-29.03 2009 (spring migration) then on 17.06 2009 back in norway
    and again on 31.10 2009 in Israel

    the best location to see ringed gulls in Israel is Ashdod
    you are welcome to look at the presentation i prepared for the Israeli birders to look at
    (as gulls identification is so hard sometimes)

    by the way - there are some other presentations in that site and you are welcome to look at
