Title: Gull diving, about to hit water
Post by: mr.sharp-photo on April 11, 2010, 11:36:35 AM

I hate these birds (sorry, i do). I was at the Spit and one started to dive right in front of me. i took a couple of pictures. the ones with it with its catch (not sure what it was eating) in its beak didn't turn out, but this one is my fave.

perhaps those of you who love gulls can tell me which dreaded species this is? :)

Ring-billed gull.  (You can tell by "the yellowish or pale greenish legs" --Peterson  :) )
Nice shot.
