Mediterranean Gulls, Southend Pier, Essex, 17/11/2013

Today, the weather forecast is for Grey / Black sky,
but no rain, all day !

With little prospect of taking photo's, or seeing anything anywhere, there is only one place left to go !

Southend Pier, Southend-on-Sea

the best place in Great Britain to photograph Mediterranean Gulls

Mick and myself are meeting up with Jono,

on the end of the pier, 10.00 hours, it really is a grey day !

25 + Mediterranean Gulls, all ages, sitting on ''posts'' !

So for me it's ''a Gull on a Post'' day !
sitting still, sideways on, like I like them !
