GUARDIAN OF THE ICE

Took a tour around Stithians Res again yesterday morning looking for Sawbills :ie Goosander, and although there were plenty of birds out on the water and one has been reported over the last few days I failed to locate it. The cutoffs were still frozen over, and the only bird seen from the main hide was this Gt Black Back Gull which seemed to be standing guard over the area.

    As Dean said, a very atmospheric photo, the gull looks desolate somehow!

    I enjoyed the previous post too, Monty, particularly the cracking shot of the Woodpecker :)

    Beautiful bird. We had one in Idaho about a year ago and we traveled many miles to be able to see it.

    I miss my seagull friends since I moved away from the ocean. This is a lovely picture.
