Seagull -by any other name

I have always called these birds "Seagulls" and had to go to the seaside to see them. Now it seems that they live as much inland as by the sea - this one was happily enjoying the morning sun on our local riverbank

A great shot - like the way you have caught him with a pensive stare!

[JackieR]

Lovely.
Apparantly in two generatins time kids will be asking why they're called seagulls as so few will be by the sea!! (Don' think I made that up, propbly from QI or Pointless!! I must get out more!)

@hermann @paul10 @megpicatilly @30pics4jackiesdiamond @seacreature Thans for all your lovely comments, Im afraid that for me Seagulls will always be linked to the beach!!
