Seagulls playing with a tennis ball. (Larus michahellis). At sunrise, I photographed this unusual situation, two young seagulls who seem intent on playing with a tennis ball. Nikon D850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 5.6, 1 / 1000sec, ISO 720. Thanks for your comments

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

I 've never seen gulls playing with a tennis ball before. It seems they are normally too busy do anyting else than to search for food. I like the posture of the wings and the soft light. Excellent capture! Kind regards, Vincent

Grazie mille Vincent , for your interesting and nice comment. When I photographed them, I thought they were fighting to steal a fish, I realized that he had a tennis ball in his beak only at home when I saw the images on the monitor, ciao Giangiorgio

Charles, I am glad you appreciated this photo and added it into your favorites, ciao Giangioegio
