Black-Headed Gull, England
Photograph by Christopher Hoyle, Your Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animals
I was taking pictures of the scenery near Lake Windermere in the U.K. This black-headed gull was flying straight at me. It was oblivious to the camera for a while but then put the brakes on and flared its wings before it hit me in the lens. That intense look must be the last thing many small creatures see.
