Souvent mal-aimé, il est pourtant très beau. Often unpopular, it is a very beautiful bird.

Jonathan le Goeland... Certaines especes ont su mieux que d'autres s'adapter a la civilisation humaine, personnellement j'adore ces oiseaux marins. Tres belle photo et un bon espace pour voler.

I agree these are much-maligned birds and wrongly treated as vermin along with gray squirrels and any other species finding human disfavour. Great you should present such a glorious image for them! Go gulls!
