Seagull Flying into the Shore

Seagull Flying into the Shore captures a black-billed gull in mid-flight, gliding across the frame while two other black-billed gulls rest in the shallow water at the sand’s edge. The composition highlights the movement of the flying gull against the calm, serene backdrop of the shoreline, emphasising both the grace of the birds and the peaceful coastal environment.

Black-billed gulls are native to New Zealand and are known for their striking black bills and white plumage. Often found near coastal waters, rivers, and estuaries, these gulls are a distinctive feature of New Zealand’s avian landscape and a favourite subject for wildlife photographers.
