| Comment | Despite calling loudly toward each other, these Silver Gulls maintained a small distance, suggesting low-level social interaction and spacing behaviour. A heavy shower was passing through, adding texture to the water and visual interest throughout the scene, providing a more nuanced view of this common species. | ||||||||||||||||||
