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.

Amazingly clear and beautiful shots! Please let me sketch this bird. And I have already used one of your adorable Great tit to sketch, sorry I forgot to mention before :( http://rubylakes.blogspot.in/2012/01/cute-bird.html Thanks and Cheers, Ruby.

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!

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.

Not very exciting for you is pretty exciting for me. Those shots are timeless. Your camera and eye are excellent. All my best. Chris

Mam nadzieję, że mu nóżki nie przymarzły do lodu :-(. Wspaniałe zdjęcia. Pozdrawiam serdecznie. *** I hope that his legs are not stuck to the ice :-(. Great shots. Best regards.

Gullible gull, no one bothered to tell him he could leave.

He's a beauty though, maybe his feet are frozen to the surface of the ice?
