@CiaraNi Reasonably sure this one is a blacked headed gull in the middle of transitioning between winter and summer plumage or an immature adult. Their heads are only black in summer once they’re breeding age.
@aimaz I took this photo in late November, if that helps?

@benjaminlj In constant danger, so, because the seagulls are everywhere i midtbyen
@CiaraNi your bravery in the face of danger is admirable!
-
So many of my photos have a single seagull in them that I'm starting to wonder if it's the same seagull, stalking me around the world.
@CiaraNi it's Mågens!

@CiaraNi if you have any photos where the tag is legible you may be able to find out this bird’s history.
@aimaz I hadn't even noticed it had a tag! This is the only photo I have. I just tried to zoom in on the original but it's not legible. Nice suggestion, though - thanks for mentioning it.

@benjaminlj I will brave any battle if it's to protect my lunch

I like the fact that the signs in Cornwall say Beware The Gulls. As opposed to Beware Of The Gulls. Beware The Gulls sounds more ominous, more chilling, more 'these creatures are demonic, you are in grave peril'.
@CiaraNi Sounds like a good bandname as well.

@mk Mågens - haha, that's perfect

@NousZLD Ha yes, it would be!

I wonder if other animals enjoy a nice view, the way humans do
@CiaraNi Bears have been observed to do that.
Maybe that's one way gulls unwind, in between sessions of screeching and chip-diving. -
@psneeze That is what I need to do. I mean, it's mortifying, to have been assigned a *seagull*.

Here be Gulls -

@CiaraNi
Here be Gulls@notsoloud That'd keep me away. Scarier than dragons. So much more screeching, and less interesting.

@CiaraNi I like how your sign is a mirror image of ours, including the color.

@eniatitova Oh wow, they really do echo one another. Assuming the San Francisco sign is older, maybe someone at the council in Cornwall knew it and was inspired by it. That Scenic Drive sign is cool - I love the graphics of it. Thanks for sharing it.
