Kirkjufell (Icelandic for "Church mountain") is a 463m high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður. Together with its nearby waterfall, Kirkjufellsfoss, it makes a decent image, don't you agree?

Another of its family was high up on a tree opposite.
Raising and lowering of tails is part of their visual communication
…. take three years to reach adult plumage. Immature birds are always darker than most similar-sized gulls….😎😎
Belvide Reservoir, Staffordshire. North American species of gull, a few make it to Europe each year. Bird was mobile around the reservoir, and usually quite distant but eventually made it to the SE corner where it was quite close in. Lifer for me.
This mushroom was growing inside a large hollow cedar log. To photograph the gills, a mirror was place under it and the photo taken in the mirror. See first comment for photo of the group of mushrooms.
…the laughing gull is the most dependable ally of the inshore fisher due to the fact that it prefers to steal rather than work…😎😎
I learnt a new thing about Black-Headed Gulls today! The species-specific part of their scientific name (Chroicocephalus ‘ridibundus’) means ‘laughing ‘ and comes from their ‘ke-ke-ke’ and ‘kverarrr’ calls. In view of this, the Black-Headed Gull is referred to as the ‘laughing’ gull in other languages, such as German.
