| Great Black-backed Gull Titusville, Fl |
The Great Black-backed Gull is the largest of the gulls. They visit this area in the winter, however I very rarely see them. I saw this one today on the east side of the Max Brewer Causeway, the main road that leads to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refugee. Standing near some Sanderlings, perspective to just how enormous this gull is can be seen.
This one was actually very polite as you can seeing him waving good bye to me as I left.
He is one beast of a bird. don't think id fancy being one of those little guys just incase i got trampled.
ReplyDeleteA bird at last I do see alot of in the UK. Normally trying to steal food of every other Gull. You captured them well though.
ReplyDeleteA brilliant bird, but, I'm sorry to say, watch out Sanderlings, he may be after something to eat!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a huge gull Tammy!
ReplyDeleteHe looks huge next to the sanderlings!
ReplyDeleteWow! Look at the size of that dude nest to the little guys! Some creature!
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos Tammy. He is a beastly fellow. Glad to have found your blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Tammy! I really like the gray/white legs. I'm accustomed to the yellow legs on the Ring-bill's we have here.

ReplyDeleteThe Great Black Backed gull is a "big un" and a real preditor. Cracking images you have posted.
