Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus)

This girl was screaming the whole way as she came in for landing, and she gave me a beautiful reflection as she did!

Zealandia, Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand - February 2025

A kelp gull landing on a calm lake surface. The photo was captured mid landing, and her wings are still in the air, though her body is in the water. Because the surface of the lake is so smooth, a mirror like reflection of her is visible on the surface of the water, almost making it appear as though she has four wings. The surface of the lake is otherwise green in colour from the reflections of the surround foliage.
