Congrats on this lifer. Guess the gull did not really know what an important encounter this was. LOL. Well done !! Super close-up.

That's a super picture you've taken of this gull JJ... not a very common visitor to the Gallery either.

Very well done on your Lifer my friend.... bet this picture takes you right back there.
