Gulls loitering along a Minsk park waterway

This media file captures a close-up, overhead view of two seagulls in shallow, murky water near a concrete embankment. The scene is set in a natural environment, likely a pond or slow-moving body of water, given the presence of aquatic plants, algae, and fallen leaves. The water is a dark blue-green color, with scattered bubbles and reflections of the sky and surroundings. Several small, reddish-orange fish are visible beneath the surface, indicating a potential food source for the birds. One seagull is prominently positioned in the center, with its head raised and neck extended as if it has just surfaced or is about to dive. Its wings are partially spread, showcasing the intricate feather patterns in shades of brown and white. The second seagull is positioned to the left, also with its wings outstretched, appearing to be either landing or taking off from the water. Their feathers are mottled brown and gray, typical of juvenile seagulls. The activity taking place is that of the seagulls interacting with the water, possibly foraging for food or preening. The sunlight suggests it is daytime, and the clear water and reflections imply fair weather. The concrete edge on the right side of the frame provides a visual cue to the proximity of a man-made structure, perhaps a park or waterfront area. The overall impression is a candid moment of wildlife activity in an urban or semi-urban natural setting. No text is visible in the image.

Three young seagulls stand on a concrete ledge next to dark water. The water reflects green vegetation, suggesting a park or natural area. The seagulls are light brown and gray with darker speckled patterns on their feathers. Their beaks are pointed and their eyes are dark. One seagull on the far right is facing away from the camera, showing its back and the underside of its wings. The other two seagulls are facing towards the water, appearing to look down or preen. One of them has its head tilted back, looking upwards. The concrete ledge casts shadows, indicating it is daytime with bright sunlight. The scene appears to be a calm, ordinary moment in an outdoor setting, possibly near a pond or river in Minsk, Belarus. There is no visible text in the image.
