It’s difficult to share this juvenile Herring gull’s enthusiasm for the large dead fish it had discovered on the embankment of the Ely River where it flows in to Cardiff Bay, but food is food and the bird’s scavenging was removing a potentially very smelly object from the foreshore. Well done, that gull!
Your pictures are superb – the feather markings on the Gull are simply beatiful. I am so happy not to share that meal though.

Thank you kindly. It was a lovely bird and that fish was already a bit whiffy. 😉
