[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Visiting the colony of lesser black-backed gulls just ahead of breeding season, apparently I disturbed this gull at his meal of delicious fresh roadkill bunny. He/she played chicken with me, and he/she won. The rest of his gang teamed up on me and started divebombing me. My jacket still smells.

Hi Jeroen,

Interesting capture. Nice to see this symatrical image with great eyes. Very well composed.

oh my god, i would not mess with this mean looking gull! he has already got blood on his face...
excellent portrait with amazing details, the eyes and the opened beak are awesome, maybe a square crop would
have even put more emphasis on the face. well seen & capture, thor.

great close up, TFS Ori
