Flying Seagull ( Larinae)

I sighted this seagull was flying over reservoir which took me some time to focus on its movement. I managed to get its flying pictures from a distance which instantly tempted me to take a few shots. Seagull is known as the waterbird where we mostly find in the swamp or in the reservoirs. I only spotted two of them here. I managed to take its photo as good as possible from a distance range. As they were up here, I had to use telelens to make it a bit more visible so that I could see how they really look like. This bird mostly inhabits the wet area and used to see walking slowly through freshwater or estuarine habitats hunting foraging with stand-wait techniques. It was good to see them on the mangrove during this hour and I wasted no time to capture them as good as possible. Surely, I took them from a distance range as a way to avoid distractions that might disturb their time. We have a lot of egrets that usually often seen flying here and there and some of them in the mangrove trees. "Seagull" is a common name for seabirds belonging to the subfamily Larinae, often seen near the sea, and are known for their grey or white plumage and scavenging habits.
