CommentSilver gulls frequent the city, and this one is mesmerised by something interesting on the windows of a very high inner city building. I like the photo for the bird's centrality, its wingspan, and its reflection. Its object of interest is clearly visible. I also like the contrast with the building - steely grey/blue glass and oblique steel girders. The photo is a reminder that birds live with and adapt to us and our urban structures.
