Nice. Looking for a hand out no doubt. :-)

Thanks. The seagull is indeed coming in for a hand out, on final
approach to land on the boat I was standing on. Shot hand held on the
bouncing boat with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8.

I think you could have taken the same shot with any camera. Trick is to get
the seagull parked in the right place ;-))
But very nice!
What kind of carrot did you hold in front of him? Fish?

Thank you. The seagull was actually moving rapidly in flight, coming in
for a landing, No food was being held out.

I can believe that. He was asking himself: "Just WHAT kind of crappy camera
is that fool using? I can't believe the POS that some people carry around!"

Maybe the seagull was maneuvering to get overhead so that he could do
what seagulls do best.
