hello friends, for this photo i was exactly
at the same place as my previous photo,
i was sit on a rock in border of the river

on this photo i don't see the black ring around bill
but for me i think it is the Ring-billed Gull

from All About Birds website :

http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/ring-billed_gull/id

« Similar Species
Herring Gull larger, with pinkish legs in adult,
no black ring around bill, and red spot on lower mandible.
Immature Herring Gull with broader black band on tail,
may have broad dark ring around bill.

California Gull has red spot on lower mandible
along with its broken black ring, a slightly longer bill,
greenish legs, and a slightly darker mantle.
Young California Gulls have a broad dark tail band.

Mew Gull is smaller and daintier and has a smaller bill.
Its bill is pure yellow or with a faint ring in the adult
but has a black ring in second winter.
The white spots on the outer wingtips are larger
in Mew Gull than in Ring-billed Gull. »

Merci

Hello Asbed,
Beautiful photo in good sharpness and natural clours. Very nice BG, POV and composition.

Bonjour Asbed,

Ce goéland en vol est impressionnant. La prise de vue a bien saisi les détails et les couleurs du Goéland à bec cerclé en vol. Le sujet est bien cadré. Le flou de l'arrière-plan met en évidence l'oiseau. Bonne journée.

Hi Asbed,

What a lovely snap this is. Awesome composition of a bird in flight and a beautiful scenic river at the background. Nice eye contact in the air! Very nice work! I liked it.

TFS,
Kedar

Hello Asbed,
This looks very dramatic with the Gull sharply in focus above the rough waves. Clever timing, fine details and natural colours. I like your composition too.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Asbed,
An excellent in-flight capture of a Herring Gull (Larus argentatus). The flesh-coloured legs and the slight orange tip of the bill are typical for an adult of this species.
The POV is great and taken with excellent sharpness and lighting. I like the way the gull is flying into the picture.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

hello there

A very dynamic shot here, wonderful framing and good sharp detail. AN original and very effective image.

TFS kind regards Helen

You are welcome to post your work here too Perfectly Captured

Hola Asbed,
veo que continuas con tu especialidad de fotografiar aves en movimiento, especialidad complicada por otra parte. Esta que nos presentas serviría por ejemplo para el anuncio de una película. Interesante combinación de colores frios.
Abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

bonjour Asbed
magnifique capture de ce goéland avec de superbe details, j'aime bien la composition de l'image malgré l'aile un peu coupée, mais aussi la tête illuminée de l'oiseau et la position des ailes
les grosse vagues et l'écume de l'arrière-plan donne une certaine force à cette image
Passe une bonne nuit
Jacqueline
