Black-headed Gull (On ice. Lydney Boating Lake)

As there was no sun today, I went out to film these birds on ice, not very exciting, they didn't move. And why not.

  4. Bob, I guess it must have been conserving energy in that cold weather!
    Great shots! It's always odd to see them standing on the water!

  8. nice one Bob, i think those birds were too cold to move, even if they wanted to. Either that of their feet were stuck to the ice.
