Gulls at Radipole Lake.

Gulls at Radipole Lake.
RSPB Radipole Lake, Weymouth. Black headed gulls ~ Not really a black-headed bird, more chocolate-brown - in fact, for much of the year, it has a white head. It is most definitely not a 'seagull' and is found commonly almost anywhere inland. Black-headed gulls are sociable, quarrelsome, noisy birds, usually seen in small groups or flocks, often gathering into larger parties where there is plenty of food, or when they are roosting.

I love these two shots Rosa..........typical gull behaviour, especially when there's food around. You've captured the action very well, especially in the main image. I like the light on the reed beds too.

Thank you very much Keith. Sophie had food for them, as you probably guessed. The Discovery Centre in the thatched cottage is open again and there are some great views across the lake from inside. They also have a very good little cafe....just thought I'd mention that ;-))

Cracking dynamic shots of the seabirds in flight Rosa. The bird on the water (moorhen perhaps) looks a little worried! It is a small world by the way. My son Andrew and family were at this place over the weekend, they were holidaying in the area for a few days.

Enjoy your evening, Doug

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Thank you for your kind comment Doug. Yes it is a moorhen. I hope your son enjoyed his visit. We were lucky with the weather and hopefully he was too.

Good evening, Rosa.

The photo has great dynamism due to the movements of the birds which create small circles of water on the surface.
All the best

Hi Rosa
I like this picture very much!
I also know these birds well, just as you do!
Throw some food into the water, and keep clicking. Somewhere you will get a wonderful picture!
Best Wishes, and stay safe!!

Everything has been said about the quality of your 2 captures, Rosa (I'm delaying ;). So from a purely subjective point of view I'd say that I genuinely find in them the true agitated emotion of these moments - and in which what I'd rather call the phlegm of the duck amuses me a lot (I like to attribute to it an usual French expression against people who shout loudly: "Shut up, gulls! !" :-))
The precision and dynamism of your capture are really remarkable.
(I also love the abundant ink flowing from your photos, from your captions and your kind responses :)
Nice day to you, dear Rosa

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Eric Desjours club
Thank you very much dear Eric. I think you attribute the correct saying ;-))
My granddaughter helped me with these shots, as she had brought a bagful of bird food on this trip!
