Herring Gull
He stood up to allow a good portrait of him. he stood on my garden wall and reminded me i need to do some pointing ! These birds can be aggressive about now as they are protecting the newly hatced chicks.
A little about the name of this bird.
It is believed the herring gulls name is a misnomer, because this bird does not favour herring, but It may have arisen from the colour of the birds back and wings, which are silvery, resembling the colour of herring. It is more likely to favour the ice-cream in your hand!
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
