I was running with them ... with my camera at knee level. These are baby seagulls. They are learning to fly so they make 2-3 tries before to get airborn and this was my chance Wink

How could you approach the baby seagulls without being attacked by the mother?

The mother already droped them. They are on they own now. But they are rookie flyers so its hard at the start.

I could not imagine that this was possible with a Zenitar! Wow! Well done!

What a perspective...

I didn't know that seagulls could be of this colour.
In Italy, I have only seen white ones.

GREEN trees, WHITE seagulls and RED pasta sauce - now I know what the flag means. Laughing Wink

LOL in a way, you sort of partially got it!
The flag is a derivation of the French revolution flag (the current French flag), where the Italian patriots replaced the blue with green because in the code of the secret societies, the green represented the nature and thus the natural rights men are born with.

BTW I'd like to think the white is for ice cream rather than seagulls

LOL

I just start to wonder what the German colours stand for... Wink

Perhaps coal, blood and money... Laughing

[just kidding]

BTW, these are our official colours:

00 00 00
FF 00 00
FF CC 00 Wink

These colours go back to the "Deutsche Bund" in the first half if the 19th century and are said to derive from some uniforms of a free corps that fought against Napoleon's troops.
