Oh so it was the gull afterall! He does feature in the back-packers photo too doesn't he?! This is a lovely close shot - the red behind enhances his white plummage.

A shot well worth the embarassment! Love your composition in this image - the reds are the perfect tone to offset the grays and white of the bird. And I love the bird's eye view.
