Aesthetic gull (Larinae)

Fellow Hiveans, first of all I would like to wish all readers a cozy day and generally a good time! When I was outside yesterday I had the opportunity to take pictures of a really beautiful animal and I would like to share these pictures with you, hopefully you like them!

You can see here an animal that is relatively well known and most people may know it, the gull (Larinae). The distribution area is pretty much worldwide in Europe, Asia, Africa, India and North America and often reach a size of up to 80 cm and a weight between 900-2000 g. By the way, gulls can fly over 100 km/h per hour!

There are over 50 different species and a typical characteristic is the slender appearance and gulls can reach an age of up to 30 years. Gulls mainly feed on insects, fish or other molluscs and the natural enemy are birds of prey.

Gulls are also symbolically very anchored and typical symbols are associated with freedom, inspiration and nostalgia. There are also different meanings in different cultures and gulls can also be found in mythology, in Greek mythology for example it is associated with the goddess of love Aphrodite.

Many thanks for visiting my post! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens!
