This is a marvelous shot. I love your photos.

[nanila]

Oh, thank you. I've been trying to get a good shot of one of these - I think we've got at least two along our stretch of canal - since we moved here almost three years ago. I've deleted so many blurry photos from my memory cards. So very many...

Is this the kind that shows up in Watership Down?

[nanila]

I think so? I don't remember Watership Down well so I had to look it up. I think the character Kehaar is a black-headed gull.

Oh, fantastic photo! What a beautiful bird - I love the markings.

It's so striking, isn't it? And its tidily folded-away feet are adorable.
