Laughing Gull and Royal Tern

I photographed another gull whilst on Cocoa Beach. Again a common bird, the Laughing Gull superficially looks and behaves a bit like our Black Headed Gull, but is thicker set. I enjoyed trying to photograph them against the bright blue sky.

The final bird I photographed on our day trip to Cocoa Beach was the Royal Tern. A pretty bird, I managed to grab a couple of shots as it flew past. Again I like the contrast of a largely white bird against a blue sky, with the orange yellow bill adding a splash of colour.
