The dark hood which develops in summer is a symbol of aggression, so that two competing males will face each other to show as much of the hood as possible. However, to reduce aggression between members of the same pair, they have developed ritualistic displays in which the head is suddenly turned away so the partner only sees the white of the back of the neck.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
He's a cute little guy nevertheless. Fabulous detail.

"Hurry to meet Death before your place is taken."
The color is sharp. Is most of it done in the camera or post editing Count B? I haven't messed a lot with the camera settings as far as saturation, contrast, etc.....

Comment unto one another as you would have them comment unto you. If you like comments, you need to comment some yourself.
Very nice pose, post and oh so sharp! I like this black-headed gull, as I have never seen one before.

Wish I could develop such a hood too, lol.
Great post Richie, and a very interesting narrative as well.
Do me conclude that they behave like some people, lol again!
