Gull is flying with wings outstretched and slightly curved to right of camera, but head is turned to look at lens. Background is grey water, darker at the top.
On the other hand, if this shot had been of the white faced gull, I would have celebrated for a good long while.

Today’s #birdoftheday theme is #openbeak with the alt theme being #OneLeg. First pic is a #goldcrest belting one out. Second is my much-loved winter companion, Miss Peggy Leggy, a one-legged #blackheadedgull I’ve fed for 3 years running. #birds #birdphotography
Black-headed gull takes off from a rock as the sea breaks on it. Gull has wings high and bent outwards at 90 degrees. Behind is the seam foreground is warm sunlit rock.
Black-headed gull escapes the splashes from a wave breaking over a rock near shore, Brittany.

A Black-headed gull in silhouette against an orange sunset. The bird is in flight, centre of frame, with its wings outstretched, flying towards the bottom right of frame. The background is a uniformly clouded sky with oranges from the sunset at the bottom of frame transitioning to pink at the top.
🪶 For this week’s #Stunday I have a shot of a Black-headed Gull silhouetted against a glorious orange sunset.

Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OddCouples so here's a #Goosander and a #BlackHeadedGull and a blurry Goosander with a #Cormorant 🙂.
At the bottom a Black Headed Gull (on the left) and a male Mallard Duck (on the right) swim towards one another each reaching for the same piece of food. Behind 2 further Black Headed Gulls have just landed on the water while a 4th swoops in, wings outspread, from the top right corner. The Mallard has a yellow bill, dark velvet green head, and a grey body. The gulls are white with orange beaks and black markings on the side of, and across the top of, their heads.

Une mouette rieuse posée à la surface d'un plan d'eau très calme. L'oiseau est vu de profil, le corps orienté vers la droite de l'image et la tête légèrement tournée vers la gauche. L'eau est d'un beau bleu ciel à l'aspect velouté, et renvoie le reflet de la mouette comme un miroir déformant. On voit les reflets du soleil sur l'eau se dessiner sur l'oiseau, formant de minces traits lumineux barrant son poitrail et ses ailes. La photo donne une impression de calme et de sérénité.
#BirdOfTheDay le thème choisi par @robcrank68.bsky.social est #GullsInWater, des mouettes et/ou goélands dans l'eau.

Un héron cendré debout sur la berge sableuse d'un étang. Il a le cou rentré dans les épaules pour résister au froid hivernal. Il regarde vers la droite de l'image. Devant lui, deux mouettes rieuses en plumage internuptial pataugent au ras des vagues. La lumière est douce et enveloppe les animaux d'une légère teinte cuivrée. L'eau a des reflets bleu pastel et cuivrés.
#BirdOfTheDay : le thème choisi par @robcrank68.bsky.social est "longs becs" #LongBeaks

One larger bird and several gulls sitting on rocks surrounded by water. The rocks and the birds are on the right side of the frame. The larger bird is dark with some white on his neck and face. Also some yellow on the face. The beak is long and gray, squared and hooked downward at the end. It tail is long and dark. The neck appears to be long and bent in an S shape. It is looking out over the water to the left. It is much taller than the gulls. The gulls have gray backs, darker tails, and white heads and bellies. There are dark smudges behind the eyes. Most of them have their heads bent down and are preening. The leftmost gull is leaning toward the water with its head turned to the side.
Great cormorant and black-headed gulls (photo taken in November), Nishinomiya, Japan.

Photo of a black-headed gull on a pond. The pond is frozen over, so it looks like the bird is standing on water.
It’s this cold in Scotland just now! Stay warm, everyone. #ice #blackheadedgull #naturephotography #roukenglen #eastrenfrewshire
#Birdoftheday from @robcrank68.bsky.social is #reflections so here's a #BlackHeadedGull from my Boxing day walk and the #Cygnets from the summer, just before they fledged. 😍
This striking #leucistic #BlackHeadedGull certainly caught my eye at Passage House on S Devon's #TeignEstuary this afternoon. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds
Wings are high and largely out of shot. the body faces between front and right of frame, legs dangling and head turned towards the middle do of the frame. Red beak is very sharp and colourful.

Just realized I forgot roost this today. A late entry.
While complaining about the paparazzi, a #BlackHeadedGull cruises on still waters.
