[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Gulls are birds in the family Laridae. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, and skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Most gulls belong to the large genus Larus.

They are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They have stout, longish bills, and webbed feet. Gull species range in size from the Little Gull, at 120 g (4.2 oz) and 29 cm (11.5 inches), to the Great Black-backed Gull, at 1.75 kg (3.8 lbs) and 76 cm (30 inches).

Salut Robi,
La netteté de cette image est impressionnante! Et que dire de l'exposition, de toute beauté. La composition est parfaite sur ce beau ciel bleu, bravo!
Claudine

full points for technique and note
you have employed your equipment very well and used it succesfully to freeze the gull
good eye contact and detail with the feather texture apparent, wing action and those dainty little feet tucked away
cheers

hi robi,
very nice picture.wingspan is amazing..lovely details too,
you could have left more space to the right of the bird..(in direction which it is looking)
tfs

beau shot qui ne manque pas de piqué,beau détail dans le plumage et bonne lumière.Désolé mais je ne saurais t'aider pour l'id mais peut être devrais tu d'adresser à patleboss qui je pense pourrais te renseigner.
Amitiés,Mich

Merci Robi pour les vôtres aimables commentaires.
Tu foto muy bien realizada y "congelada", captando muy bien los difíciles tonos de ese ave. Veo que ese objetivo Sigma te funciona de maravilla. Quiero comprar un tele-objetivo nuevo y dudo entre ese o el 50-500.
Un saludo y que tengas una buena semana:

Hi Robi

Wonderfully sharp in flight shot. The shutter speed have frozen the action perfectly. Perfect exposure as well

en tous cas bonne image.

Perfect in-flight of the gull. We have this species too. Its pose and wingspread are excellent and you gave cropped image precisely. I like direction of sunlight. You managed to reflect all details of the bird. Ell done and TFS.
