Goéland argenté ( Larus argentatus ) PS: Following the remark of Phil, I changed the name "Great Black Backed Gull" in Herring gull

At first, I thought that gulls leg was fastened to the ring!...

(I really need to get new specs!)..

Good clear shot on this one

Very good Christian, I agree with what has been said, but I might have tried just a bit more contrast, but that is just a personal preference. Tigs♥ =^..^=

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I think that this 'maritime pigeon' has its stomach full of fish, or something like that, else it had probably flown away after you had approached it to take your capture.

Very nice image Christian.

Regards, Cornelius.

The anchor rope and ring adds a lot to this fine shot, Christian.

He's on alert, but generally they aren't that afraid of humans. They're used to following fishing boats and staking out harbours. Nice tight shot, Christian.

Actually Christian you've photographed a Herring Gull here, the Great Black Backed Gull is slightly similar but has darker plumage. The lighting, & clarity is very good here. (o:
