This photograph, taken in the afternoon during the late spring season, shows a black-headed gull perched on a moss and lichen covered tiled roof in Christchurch, Dorset, United Kingdom. The image is a still life portrait focusing on animals and birds in an urban environment, and highlights the black-headed gull as the central subject. The composition captures the contrast between the gull's pristine white and grey plumage and the weathered, orange hues of the brick roof beneath it, with a clear blue sky in the background typical of springtime in Dorset.
