Apparently these Gulls take two years to reach sexual maturity, and can live into their sixties in the wild, I never knew that!

Cool to see the gull as a "child" so to speak. Great shot.

I like how this gull almost merges into the watery background with its colours. Lovely capture you have here. Well done!
