The black headed gull sitting on a log out on the Venetian lagoon (off Adriatic sea) near San Marco's square at Venezia (Venice). Being a scavenger bird it is always watchful for food of some kind or other.Photo:

This is a classic sea gull. This gull is large, noisy and always looking out for easy meals. This is captured while it is sitting on a boat at the Adriatic sea (Gulf of Trieste, Italy). This may be looking for fish as the boats are usually made for fishing in the deep sea.
