NT6779 : Herring Gull Chick

near to Dunbar, East Lothian, Great Britain

Herring Gull Chick
Herring Gull Chick
This chick was not best pleased to see me, and neither was its parent, which wheeled around squawking while I was taking this shot. The chick had been half hidden in the long grass, but tried to run away when I came across it. It couldn't make any headway through the undergrowth, however. It has begun to grow proper feathers on its back, but it will be a little while yet until it is ready to fly. Assuming it survives that long, of course; it is vulnerable to cats, foxes and humans.
