Black Headed Gull

If you look carefully just behind it, you can see it's nest with at least one chick in it.

If you have another 10 mins to spare you could even try viewing large :-)

Keith Burton replied to Adele:

It does look like that........but I think it was more worried about keeping its chick safe from the larger gulls!

Glad you like the scene and managed to get to view it large. Thank you so much Adele.

The adult is watching and the chick relies on camouflage- you caught them very well!

Excellent capture and goodness that chick will take some feeding as it looks to be a whopper, is this not an unusual low nesting point ?
Well spotted and a superb image!
