Sometimes it’s hard to get the full story with photos alone so I am adding in some words – since so many commentors are voicing their puzzlement. lol We are following the Gill’s path, he’s walking down the beach.
He turns and looks back at us.
Then he passes a form of foreign sealife (which turned out to be a grapefruit skin).
He flies a little, and lands on a rock.
Next to a Raven/Crow – how the heck do you tell tham apart?

These are elegant birds who get a bum rap. They are so tolerant of our trash and the other hungry dudes around them.

Otherwise, very nice shots of a beautiful bird.

I read the comments and now I understand why you added the text! LOL! I don’t know if that’s a raven or a crow either!
Mojo said,
The gull looks… almost… artificial’s not the word I want, but definitely not what I’d expect him to look like up close. Remarkable textures in these photos!
