Coastal Gulls
I like the big coastal varieties of seagull we have out here in Victoria. I particularly like the colouring of the juveniles.... all the brown details in the feathers. I have accumulated quite a bunch of pictures of them spread out amongst many other galleries so I have decided to create a gallery just for them. Some of these are among my favorite bird shots.

Dinner.... the following is the sequence of this gull's successful hunt (in reverse though sorry). At low tide its a buffet for seagulls: they hunt for crabs, spotting them in the shallow water and then diving straight down into the water and down to the bottom to grab them. I had no idea they could do that. And they do it well..... the seagulls out here are HUGE compared to Ontario birds. Easily twice the size many of them - And fat and well fed from the ocean buffet.
