DSCN4384.JPGRing Billed Gull somehow grabbed a crabapple. (Larus delawarensis)

Our most Common Gull, the Ring Billed Gull, usually eats fruit and mast of all sorts under the tree. I have seen them using other trees up high, but not crabapples until this day. They had to flap to maintain stability. One of a large series I choose from.

It's amazing how these large birds can do that, isn't it.

A wonderful aerial picture you've taken of this gull Gregg - very well done lad.
