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.

(Larus michahellis)
Es war frisch und windig an diesem Tag an der Steilküste Cabo de Sao Vicente. Nur mit langsamen Schritten konnte man sich am Rand der rund 60 Meter hohen Klippe bewegen um die Möven bei Ihrem geselligen Treiben zu beobachten. Manchmal ließ der Wind für einen Moment nach und so konnte ich dieses Portrait machen.
It was fresh and windy that day on the cliffs of Cabo de Sao Vicente. It was only possible to move slowly along the edge of the 60 meter high cliff to watch the seagulls at their activities. Sometimes the wind died down for a moment and so I was able to take this portrait.
Il faisait frais et venteux ce jour-là sur les falaises du Cabo de Sao Vicente. Il était seulement possible de se déplacer lentement le long du bord de la falaise de 60 mètres de haut pour observer les mouettes dans leurs activités. Parfois, le vent tombait un instant et j'ai ainsi pu faire ce portrait.

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 ?"
I was stitting on a bench near the edge of the water when this one flew to a boulder close beside me. Here is a close up showing the red eye ring they sport during breeding season.
William Hawrelak Park. Edmonton, Alberta.
Gestern am Altwasser eine Lachmöwe bei Regen. Schön zu sehen vom Schlichtkleid ins Prachtkleid mausernd.
On a rainy sunday at a dead stream branch a common black headed gull moulting into summer plumage.
In realtà Gavina (Larus canus) in livrea invernale ed un marcato torcicollo :)
Actually a Common gull (Larus canus) in winter livery and a marked stiff neck :)
These Ring-billed Gulls are wasting no time. They always arrive in Hawrelak Park before the melt, but this year the melt is three weeks later than usual. Their mating is a noisy affair.

Pacific Gull, Larus pacificus

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
Black-Headed Gulls (Larus ridibundus). 17.6.2009, Tornio.
