The Great Black Backed Gull (Larus marinus). A very large, thick-set black-backed gull with a powerful beak. Adults are blacker than the smaller Lesser Black-Backed gull. It has a heavy flight and can look quite hunched when perched. It will fight off other gulls and chase them to snatch food. Found around the coasts in the breeding season. At other times of year it can be found wherever gulls congregate - at reservoir roosts, rubbish tips inland and bays and harbours. (RSPB website). Camera: Nikon D300s. Lens: AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED lens. Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.
