Contrary to what you may think from the combination of this shot and "0420 On Approach..." (PBASE LINK), I don't have any exceptional affinity for seagulls. They are, after all, known as the "rats of the air". However they CAN be photogenic, and I felt sorry for this poor beggar who lost a foot somewhere through the course of its life.

Edit September 2023: I doubt that poor Mr. Gull is still with us.
