Mediterranean Magic

Every year with out fail there has been a small population of Mediterranean Gulls that make the Holbeck area of Scarborough, North Yorkshire their winter residence. Who knows why they come back to this area year after year, but I am certainly not complaining.

They look great in winter plumage, but once they develop their breeding black hoods, well just look at the images below and let me know what you think - AMAZING!
