A herring gull on the harbour wall at St Ives. The word "gull" apparently derives from the Celtic languages - "an gullan" is Cornish for "the gull". 4th June '05.

Appears completely oblivious. Great close-up with pretty and non-distracting background. Nice Simon.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance...

A lot of folks really hate these birds, but I don't. They're actually among the most savvy. This is a wonderful shot - SO CRISP. Thank you for sharing it. 10 here :-)

Oh, I lvoe this cpature SImon. The eye is so detailed and distinct as is the beak. I have never studied an gull this close. It is fascinating. Thank you for the comment also regarding the name. I wondered where it came from, but I was too lazt to look it up! Thanks ;))

Thank you all :-) Gulls certainly can be a nuisance, but how much of that is down to the way we leave rubbish lying around for them to scavenge? They're still beautiful birds, particularly in the right setting.

That’s an impressive shot of the Gull against a perfect background. He looks like he’s about to give you a mouthful of cheek.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

hello there, simon :) oh, i'm so behind my regular caedes exploring.. this marvellous image had been waiting for me to comment on it :)))
i love the beautiful blue background, it's one of my favourite blue shades.. it creates a fabulous contrast with the soft white feathers of this little gull. i like the look in its eyes, it resembles some intellectual snob :)
the image is so sharp, like i'm standing in front of the gull and taking its portrait :) wow... :)
thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of work with us! enjoy your day :)

~~~ ...all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream... ~~~
The deep blue background makes a great contrast and without overtaking everything it make the pic very vivid.
The bird looks a bit evil to me though.
