Fascinating to watch the birds.
2 years agoObviously. A roller coaster, maybe.
2 years agoThat is odd. Actually, you’re doing better on gulls. Did you try googling this image? I’ll bet Google didn’t suggest a submarine.
2 years agoOh! I thought it was to make me jealous of the flamingo sightings hehe.
2 years agoGreat color! Good buy!
2 years agoThat’s likely right, although the two species are very similar - especially out of breeding season. The difference that looks easiest to spot and remember is probably wing tip color - black for black headed gulls, white for Mediterraneans. It would have helped if it had been named Black-headed-and-wingtipped gull.
2 years agoGreat shot! Wonderful to have a strong zoom lens, we can even see his eye.
2 years agoHappy-looking Rocky!
2 years agoNo submarine here, though.
2 years agoFrom that angle I'm left with the impression of the conning tower of an enormous-but-unseen submarine. It's odd how the mind works, isn't it?
2 years agoThanks for the confirmation.
2 years agoThey almost need an air traffic control system...
2 years agoGoogle image search results suggest that it's a black-headed gull, in the color scheme of a non-breeding adult.

Nah! Not at this point. We head home in three and a half weeks, so I’ll get a break soon enough.
