A pair of black-backed gulls on a hill above the sea. It is covered with low plants and orange flowers. The female gull looks grumpy, the male doubtful. Watercolor and ink in a sketchbook with brush and pen.

A great black-backed gull, the largest gull in the world. It will even hunt puffins and swallow rabbits 🪶
