Seagull

Seagull

Seagull resting between pelicans and other sea birds. They don’t always scream for food….
Did you know that they have found a fossil from the The Laridae (family of seagulls) from the Early Oligocene (geological period some 30-33 million years ago)?
In other words; they were here before us….

Måke som hviler seg blandt pelikaner og andre sjø-fugler. De skriker altså ikke alltid etter mat….
Viste du at de har funnet fossil fra Laridae (måke familien) fra tidlig Oligocene, en geologisk periode for 30-33 millioner år siden?
Med andre ord; de var her før oss…..

  3. Rats with wings… but I love them anyway. Looks like a great place to sit and wait for the day to pass. Interesting info too.

  4. It looks like paint on the poles, but it doesn’t add up with all the birds. It seems like you are as near as you can, the bird is watching you closely.

  5. Great detail and sharpness. Love the two bigger birds behind the seagull.

  6. Excellent composition here. Love the details.

    I had a series of “Gulls on Poles” a couple of years ago.

  8. and they seem to have invented the painting well before us…

    Denis — December 10th, 2008 at 13:18

  9. Yes…i like what I see, the setting, the framing and the dof. I am wondering what the photo would do if you would have decreased the brightness or isolated the seagull a bit more.

  18. Kjempeflott bilde. Dybde, farge og måken er super :)

    Rune — December 10th, 2008 at 18:12

  19. Really, really, Nice! I almost expected to smell the sea, feel the breeze and hear the gulls screaming! Very life-like!

    It is interesting to see that they existed before man. Looks like this one did a good job of painting the post it is sitting on!

    I do like the pelicans in the background – Have you got photos of the pelicans, too?

    Joe — December 11th, 2008 at 10:52

  23. Elsker dybdekomposisjonen. Det tåler vel å sies selv om alle sier det:)

    skinke — December 11th, 2008 at 11:29

  24. All options were -very well- used here to bring attention on the bird.
    Superb.

    Mario Jean — December 11th, 2008 at 12:06

  32. This stylites bird is watching and impassive. A philosopher, sure! Very nice composition.

    Fotosco — December 11th, 2008 at 18:01

  33. We see some pelicans too. Little chunk of life in this stark world.

    Weddings on the Strand — December 12th, 2008 at 00:29

  34. great dof !!

    Xavier Rey — December 12th, 2008 at 05:46

  35. Veldig stilig bilde. Likte måten dere har brukt alle stolpene bakover, dybdeskarpheten og at det er mange ulike fugler på de forskjellige stolpene. Elegant bilde.
    Tidligere i høst gikk det opp for meg (ja, jeg vet at jeg er treig) hvorflott en del måker virkelig er. Se på de svarte fjærene med hvite prikker, f.eks., de som er bakerst når måken sitte med vingene foldet. Ganske spektakulært pynt, egentlig, og så ser jeg det ikke bare fordi det er så mye av denne fuglearten.

    Ståle — December 12th, 2008 at 11:25

  36. Great shot! I like the line of birds!

    Michael Wyman — December 14th, 2008 at 00:51
