You probably had him marching back and forth, about facing all over the place so you could get the good shots. Looks like he's telling you that enough is enough. Very good photo and so very clear Jo. You've done a fine job domesticating this gull.
Just practising Land of My Fathers and Bread of Heaven , before The Match, MFJ. These pictures of your friend the gull are wonderful. They are so clear and they tell a story (well they do to me!!).
It's a great shot, I like it a lot. Maybe you could have framed the shot so the gull wasn't smack dab in the middle though. Otherwise, I love the shot.
