Black-headed Gull

Black-headed Gulls / larus ridibundus. Straws Bridge, Derbyshire. 08/02/21.

 

'SELECTIVE FOCUS.'

 

An image I made a month ago during the icy spell.

My local lake was almost completely frozen over and the large winter gull population there relied heavily on human handouts. During rest sessions, the gulls would loaf about on the ice or perch on the wooden rail at the front of the car park. I thought they looked good in the driving snow, whether the wintery sun was out or not.
