Great seagulls pictures. It's a common trick to feed birs with the purpose the get photos . In fact the trick is used professionally and "dedicated" photographers pay a lot to stay in hides to which the birds are attrackted with food.
Thank you both. Actually, we were on our balcony on the ship that morning as it was our tradition to have breakfast served every morning there. It's against the law on a cruise ship to throw anything off the side of the ship so he just held the bread out, only had 1 bird brave enough to take it out of his hand. It was quite entertaining watching them.
Fine bird "silhouettes". The pics illustrate one of the major problems i BIF-photographing. It's hard or sometimes impossible to get light upon the underside.

Especially when we have to use a 200+mm lens to get the shot!

@Jørgen_Bjerring I like the skylark images! Especially the light on the first one. Kinda like a low sun in the sky.

Not sure, but I think this bird is called a frigate bird. Saw this one in Cabo San Lucas
Nice capture of the Frigate Bird
