Solo Attack

St. Agnes Isles of Scilly UK

These gulls get awfully shirty if you go anywhere near their breeding sites - this one was heading straight at me - I thought I could use the lens as a defense system if it didn't give up!
Incidentally, for the ecologically minded - they nest all over the Isles of Scilly, so avoiding getting close to the sites is pretty impossible.

Duck, in coming... You make it very difficult Jono. Surely you could have asked it to smile!! I mean if you're going to direct the subject, a smile would have been nice. Too good Jono. Regards Paul

You can almost see the whites (or golds) of his beady little eyes. And some detail in the shadows, too! --Kim
