Gulls on the waterline

DANUBE DELTA, DOBRUJA, ROMANIA

A cluster of gulls rests on half-submerged branches in still wetland water. One bird lifts into the frame while the others hold their ground. The composition spreads across pale water, reeds, and a low green bank. The scene is quiet but active, with small shifts of posture and one clear wingbeat. It reads as a direct field record of birds using a simple perch in open marsh light.
