Gulls in Flight - Wildlife Photo

This photograph of (Black-headed) Gulls in Flight at Watermead, was taken at Watermead Lakes in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire — a haven for birdlife and local walkers alike. Several gulls fill the frame, each caught mid-flight in a different pose, their wings angled and outstretched as they move across the clear blue sky.

The photo captures the energy and grace of these common yet captivating birds, set against the blue tones of the Watermead sky. Gulls are a constant presence here, gliding effortlessly over the water and gathering in flocks along the shoreline.

Watermead is a well-loved green space in Aylesbury Vale, offering year-round opportunities for wildlife and nature photography. From gulls and swans to herons and cormorants, the area provides a glimpse into the beauty of everyday British wildlife — often hiding in plain sight just beyond the town.
