White-eyed Gull

White-eyed Gull

Ichthyaetus leucophthalmus
Aqaba Bay, Jordan - March 8 2019
An adult White-eyed Gull in flight. The beaches south of Aqaba is a perfect place to admire this bird. The sun is behind you in the morning and the light is very pleasant as you scan the sea for gulls and migrating birds. During about two hours a dozen White-eyed Gulls flew by at close range.
