Lesser black-backed gull (Larus fuscus) taking a bath in a sweet water puddle, with some greenish water running down its neck. Skomer Island, Wales, UK

@robcrank68.bsky.social ‬has set primary theme for recent
#BirdOfTheDay to #GullsInWater, which I totally missed.

Lesser black-backed gulls love to bath in sweet water, as here on a rainy day in Skomer 🪶

#birdoftheday #gullsinwater

Two ring-billed gulls standing in water. The water is coming in to shore with tiny waves, like up to a gull's belly. Both gulls are facing to the left, with one diagonally behind the other. The one in back stands in a cresting wave as it passes beneath its belly. The one in front has its head looking slightly down and its right leg lifted daintily out of the water, stepping forward with its yellow webbed foot.

A little seagull with white body, grey wings and a red beak with a black tip is swimming from left to right across an almost entirely calm water that perfectly reflects its appearance like a mirror.

A seagull with white body, grey wings and a red beak is bathing in widely rippled pond water on which the golden evening light and the black shadows of trees are reflecting around it.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay main theme by @robcrank68.bsky.social, #GullsInWater, I have a summer- #gull in the mirror and an autumnal gull in gold.

No gulls on my camera roll but I do have some short legs!

Photograph of an adult Kelp Gull, the largest breeding gull in the Falkland Islands. It's a largish white gull other than black wings with a white trailing edge. It has grey green legs, red eyes and a yellow slightly hooked beak with a red spot at the end of the lower beak. This one is alighting on the calm sea onto a patch of kelp, its legs in the water, the tip of its lower bill having dipped in and just come out of the sea still with a continuous drip of water from bill to surface and its wings stretched out above it. The evening sun casts a yellowish light.

For the other #BirdOfTheDay theme #GullsInWater the southern hemisphere Kelp Gull appropriately settling on some kelp in the evening sun near Port Stanley #Falklands

A Ring-billed Gull doing the flappy-flappy in shallow water. These birds' perennial "over it" faces always make me giggle

Hautlaub's Gull standing in water. He looks like many other gulls, but softer around the head and (dark) eyes.

Bonaparte's Gull standing on pavement of some sort with the pale blue of a lake behind it, the golden light of sunrise illuminating the bird. Some gull species look like they are wearing headphones because they have dark spots about where one would think their ears are. This is one of them. So basically, a gull taking an early morning walk near water while listening to music.

Black-headed Gull; this is another species that sports headphones. This red-beaked bird is in the water with its head slightly cocked, as though he is looking up a bit at something.

Grey-hooded Gull standing in water. He had a grey hood, white neck, chest, and tummy, grey wings and back, dark red beak and legs, and light eyes that look as though they are rimmed with eyeliner.

Thank you @robcrank68.bsky.social for today’s fun #birdoftheday theme #gullsinwater. Here’s a young herring gull enjoying a clam on the half shell at the edge of the surf in North Carolina.

Watching these two Herring Gulls floating in the Atlantic was very entertaining. Floating around, looking like they were giving side-eye and judging the other more energetic birds. Reminded me of the old guys from the Muppets! lol #BirdOfTheDay #GullsInWater #EastCoastKin #photography #birds 🪶

Shot against the low sun, a slightly wavy water glows golden. 5 and a half gulls are seen as silhouettes.

Two gulls on slightly blue water, trying to be in the same spot on the water.

The weather today gave me a bit better light, so gulls in water it is. Don't know which species.
