Thanks Laura Maria! And I totally agree, Stefan, this is a very nice photo. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to see the new ones…
Thank you! I took a series of pictures...I've got some more spectacular flying stunts. I will add them soon.
WOW amazing photo!! This is fantastic. Luiselye is correct, the yellow legs identify this as a lesser black-backed gull :D The timing on this is amazing, I love it!
The very dark back and the yellow legs suggest a Lesser Black-backed Gull (subspecies fuscus fuscus)…
