European herring gull

The European herring gull is a large gull with a typical red spot on its yellow bill.
It’s one of the best known of all gulls along the shores of western Europe.

The male and female plumage is identical at all stages of development, however adult males are often larger.

Like most gulls, European herring gulls are long lived. The highest age ever recorded is 49 years.

    Besser kann man diesen Vogel nicht fotografieren. Das geht halt nur mit Leika Equipment. Gute Arbeit Mark.

    Eine wunderbare Aufnahme!!! Das Licht ist einfach großartig und bringt das "Silber" der Federn zum Leuchten! Ich mag hier die feine, gelungene Freistellung!

    LG! a.
