Seagull

I was out for my usual walk down the shore the other day and managed to snag this shot. I can never seem to get close at all to the seagulls or other birds that frequent the cliff edges & shore. They are very weary of humans. The ones at the dump, however, won't even get out of your way if you are heading right for them. I guess they are far more acustomed to human presence being that they live in a landfill and all. The backdrop for photographing the dump birds isn't as nice though and I don't think I would want to crawl around on the ground there to get my shots. Thanks for viewing.
