CommentThis Silver Gull was squabbling with other Silver Gulls and unable to land amongst them. Using its legs, feet, wings and tail this Gull then chose a nearby seaweed covered rock for a gentle landing. This area of the beach was quite shallow with lush green seagrasses clearly visible in the water. The colours of the bird contrast beautifully with the sea and seaweed.
