wary

this wary sunbather kept a sharp eye on me as I came uncomfortably close, yet stood his ground too...glaucous-winged gulls are common here...this is a juvenile as the beak has yet to turn yellow

Playing chicken with a gull? A win win.

Gulls are fast becoming a super species in the animal kingdom. Here in NZ they now range inland scavenging on farmland once the home of the Hawk & Falcon. In some areas they become very territorial, even attacking humans.

As gulls go, they are one of the bigger ones, so I guess he figured he could deter you! Very nicely composed shot. V

Very obliging of him to stand still and pose so nicely. Great against the city backdrop.
Did you tell him he has knobbly knees :0)

Rich sharp details on this young one. Great depth of field to show the city in the background. "V"

Excellent details and DOF! He does look rather wary and defiant. I like the blurred skyline which looks like it was painted in with broad brush strokes. V
