CommentWent for something a bit different with a silhouette of a Silver Gull hawking for flying ants at sunset. I believe this image showcases Silver Gulls' beauty and form, intelligence, and adaptability. In this particular situation, there was a large flock of 50+ Silver Gulls hawking for insects right before sunset. Watching them go about feeding in silence was absolutely mesmerising, especially with the beautiful light. I hope this image portrary a part of what I saw and felt.
