[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Larus minutus - Küçük Martı [TR], Little Gull [EN] is the smallest gull from the family LARIDAE (CHARADRIIFORMES), with a length of 25-27cm, a wingspan of 75-80cm. It is also called as Hydrocoloeus minutus, recently.
In Turkiye, it is seen mostly in winter period. In last months, I saw it twice; on January, 8th and 22th, 2009. First one was single individual in flight and I saw it on Akkaya Lake (Niğde prov.). Secondly I captured in a small harbour (small fisherman boats) of Filyos near Zonguldak. Around ten individuals were flying together with Larus ridibundus.

This shot was taken among them, by camera on hand and under winter sun. I also add another pose as Workshop. I hope you will like it.

Hi Ahmet,

I'll never be able to distinguish between all of these gulls! I will remember this Little Gull from this wonderful in-flight capture. The position of the wings is so lovely and graceful. The face is so sharp and clear with the marvelous eye and beak. Just beautiful against the perfect blue sky.

Günaydin Ahmet dostum,
A very fine in-flight of Larus minitus in winter plumage. The frozen wing position and POV are excellent, as they are in the WS. Both images are of high quality and required very little PP work.
Tesekkürler ve eline saglik,
Ivan

Assalamaualeykum Akhi Ahmet,
another lovely shhot of the bird in flight. Very sharp and detailed. The use of lighting is very effective in giving an excellent sharpness.
the wings in full spread give a pleasant diagonal compositin across the frame.
Nice soft blue sky renders an attractive composition.

regards,
Foozi

Merhaba Hocam,
Çok güzel bir tür.Hastahane penceresinden Seyhan Gölü'nün martıları sürekli izlenebiliyordu ama türlerini bilmiyorum.Bu kadar yakından böyle güzel bir türün net karesini görmek de çok hoş.Elinize sağlık.
