Quizzical Gull

Quizzical Gull, originally uploaded by londonbluefish.

I spent about half-an-hour this afternoon along the River Thames in Kingston, when the torrential rain subsided and the sun came out briefly.

The waterfowl along that stretch of water are pretty tame — probably because they feed on scraps from passers-by, despite the notices telling people not to feed them — and so I was able to snap a number of swans, geese and gulls.

This little fellow was perched on a wooden post in front of someone's barge, and had the most delightful quizzical look on his face as he tilted his head back and forth.
