Presented pictures of a Lesser Black-backed Gull were taken in Croatia and Italy. It is as common there as a Black-headed Gull is here. The difference being, it is so used to the presence of people and the feeding that I was swimming on a tourist boat, photographing them with 300mm lense, as they were flying around and begging for food. They are very agile on the fly and brave when feeding. Lesser Black-backed Gull is a large bird, as its weight can exceed 1 kilogram with a wingspan of a nearly 1 meter.

I added some pictures of the lesser black-backed gull which I took during the ferry crossing in the Netherlands.  Unfortunately the sharp midday light and big contrasts spoilt the pictures so not too many of them were of much use.

Lesser black-backed gulls accompanied us almost all the time on the Atlantic Ocean during our procellariiformes expedition. Sometimes they were the only birds which stayed near the boat. There I took  several interesting pictures and the gallery was rebuilt.
