As a rule, Black-backed Gulls don’t enjoy an impeccable reputation and this Lesser Black-backed Gull was probably no exception. Overcast weather conditions were grey with impending rain. The dark reflection during takeoff lends yet more feeling to the bird’s potentially somber activity!
Thanks for viewing
