The Gulls arrive before the ice has melted, and they waste no time. When the ice gets this dark, it is on the verge of melting.

Une Mouette au bord du Wharf de La Salie.
Poème de Verlaine :
"Je ne sais pourquoi
Mon esprit amer
D'une aile inquiète et folle vole sur la mer.
Tout ce qui m'est cher,
D'une aile d'effroi
Mon amour le couve au ras des flots. Pourquoi, pourquoi ?
Mouette à l'essor mélancolique,
Elle suit la vague, ma pensée,
À tous les vents du ciel balancée,
Et biaisant quand la marée oblique
Mouette à l'essor mélancolique.
Ivre de soleil
Et de liberté,
Un instinct la guide à travers cette immensité.
La brise d'été
Sur le flot vermeil
Doucement la porte en un tiède demi-sommeil.
Parfois si tristement elle crie
Qu'elle alarme au loin le pilote,
Puis au gré du vent se livre et flotte
Et plonge, et l'aile toute meurtrie
Revole, et puis si tristement crie !
Je ne sais pourquoi
Mon esprit amer
D'une aile inquiète et folle vole sur la mer.
Tout ce qui m'est cher,
D'une aile d'effroi
Mon amour le couve au ras des flots. Pourquoi, pourquoi ?"
Gestern am Altwasser eine Lachmöwe bei Regen. Schön zu sehen vom Schlichtkleid ins Prachtkleid mausernd.

On a day when most birds had wisely stayed in bed, this big gull came slowly down the beachline and I was able to get it against just the dark water backdrop
The common gull, mew gull, or sea mew (Larus canus) is a medium-sized gull that breeds in the Palearctic, northern Europe, and northwestern North America. The names "common gull" and "mew gull" may also be used to refer to specifically the European and North American subspecies respectively. Many common gulls migrate further south in winter. There are differing accounts as to how the species acquired its vernacular name (see Etymology section below).
The name "sea mew" is a calque of the Dutch name "zee meeuw".

Working across the shallows on an incoming tide it was on the lookout for any likely prey

The ice is slowly melting. Soon the big spring migration will reach us.
