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.

Bird is flying left to right, wings spread, bit coming in to land. head is black but has white feather patches. Orange legs dangle. Backgound is grass lower half, but brown and reds out of focus at the top.
Another shot of the Black-headed gull with residual white facial feathers, but in flight.

A female mallard on the water, her body facing left of frame but her head urned back on itself so she can preen the wing on the far side. As she does do, the tiny feathers on her neck can be clearly seen.
The head of a black-headed gull with a few of its white winter face feathers still in place on its forehead and between its eyes.
What I like about these two pictures is that you see feathers that are not normally visible, the neck feathers on the Mallard and the white face feathers of the gull.

Photo of the opening between two brick apartment buildings in Scotland. The shape of the buildings creates negative space that is filled with blue sky and a couple of soft clouds. The sun is setting and warm light illuminates one of the apartment walls. A young gull is perched on the top of that wall, facing towards the sunset.

Birds of Bellingham. Mister Spicy is the cinnamon teal and I'm not sure he would like the other birds in the photos. A crow annoys a gull in another photo. Can anyone identify the fledgling?
Surprised at how few #gulls there are in Sicily. Here is the common large gull on the island... Yellow-legged Gull (Larus micahellis). This one an adult in full breeding plumage. I was hoping for Audouin's Gull but no luck. ☹️ #BirdingSicily #BirdingItaly #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SaturdayLaridae

Another VAR intervention needed for #BirdOfTheDay Is this great black-backed gull a #SmallBirdInFlight @robcrank68.bsky.social or are those feet in contact with the water?

Twenty or so gulls stood, many as if asleep, on lake ice, which is reflecting the greenery behind.
Black-headed gulls stood on the ice in winter.

Two gulls coming towards the camera, both with wings flapping and beaks open. Water background with lots of splashing water and blurring feathers.
Gull fight!

There’s been a dearth of white winged gulls in NE Aberdeenshire this winter so the 2 Glaucous Gulls that have turned up in Fraserburgh Harbour have been very welcome. This ringed individual is a bit of a beast as you can see next to a great black back. #BirdingScotland #Gulls #Birds

I think this is the backside of a juvenile American Herring Gull. He is dark brown and gray and had just taken off from a lake on Mt. Hood with water dripping from his right wing and various water spots nearby.

White seabird (a ring-billed gull) with black wingtips splashes across the river surface with its legs extended and its wings raised vertically.
Today's Alternate #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Gulls. This ring-billed gull has just splashed in the Des Moines River south of Saylorville Lake and is trying to regain the air.

Two large Eagles are flying low over a gray, slightly choppy ocean surface. They are Steller’s sea eagles, identifiable by their striking black-and-white plumage, massive wingspans, and bright yellow-orange beaks and talons. In the foreground (right side), one eagle is gliding just above the water with its wings fully extended. Its head is angled downward, focused forward, a fish clutched in its talons. Behind and slightly above it (left side), a second eagle is descending with wings spread wide and feet extended forward, as if preparing to snatch the fish or compete for it mid-air. Its posture suggests aggression or opportunistic behavior. The scene conveys motion and tension: the lower bird is escaping with its prey, while the upper bird is attempting to intercept. The muted tones of the sea contrast with the bold black, white, and yellow of the birds, making them stand out sharply. Photo Credit: Gregory Rothman 2018
