Gull -Like me pink boots?

Gull -Like me pink boots?

this is a cute bird, not sure what type it is. Thought it was a Gull at first, but then wondered about the more pointed beak and the pink feet.

Anyone know?

me too, Tania :) Thanks for having another looking and commenting for the 3rd time. I've never seen one since with quite the same expression - or such pink boots :)

many thanks for your nice comment, and for taking time to view : ) - think it was one of my best shots with my "old" camera.

Alandra the body language you have captured made me laugh well done. I have taken many photos of gulls and none of them capture the cheeky nature of the bird well done

thanks, Corbin, Austin, Deb, Dud and Randy. That sounds right Randy, re it being a Lesser black backed gull, as it was smaller also than regular gulls, as well as the black back feathers fitting the description. thanks.

Very cute shot. The pink feet does throw you a bit. Just going from memory, but I think the Lesser Black-backed Gull has pink feet.

Dud from Louisiana on Apr 21, 2005 at 6:27 AM said:

Good shot!!! He is thinking if I had a camera like that do you think I could attract more food.

That's a gull and I bet it was thinking more about whether your camera was edible than about the latest bird fashions. Lovely shot :)

Neat shot!

corbin from korea on Apr 20, 2005 at 7:45 PM said:

I love this shot... its like he is thinking what are you doing with that camera?

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Apr 20, 2005 at 5:20 PM said:

thanks Karen, yeah, guess it's some type of smaller gull. The pattern on the water is from the reflection of the red roof of the Charthouse eatery which can be seen in some of the other shots.

Beautiful shot. I think it is a gull. I really like the pattern on the water in the background.

Don't know but agree on cuteness.
