TAKE EIGHTY THREE f

Wings on Wednesday - 
YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in photographing birds.

An adult Black-headed gull and a 'yearling'. (At first, I thought it was behind the times not getting its 'hood' - 
but a study of the wonderful GULLS OF THE WORLD {thanks David Gascoigne for bringing it to attention!} taught me this is the juvenile, with its orange/black beak and tawny feathers.) 

Will bring a closer look at that next week.
