Juvenile herring gull eating a mussel
Frame filling image of a juvenile herring gull eating a mussel which it has just opened. The mussel is held in the bird's beak and the bird's delicate tongue is clearly displayed. The intricate features of the face and head are also clearly defined. The eye of the bird is in sharp focus and the detail of the bid's feathers is most attractive. Pink legs and feet are firmly planted on the dark, rocky foreshore. The bird is pictured on dark rocks which rapidly go out of focus such that the bird is very clearly defined against the soft and beautiful background.
