Is this mating ???

Sorry for so many posts today but yetserday was such an awesome day so much to photograph at Penguin Island.  I saw a pair of Silver gulls looking as though the were mating , just wondering if this is the case? The rest of the silver gulls were going crazy on the edge of the beach , not sure if it was a coincidence or not but it got my attention.

I really don't know?  He'd have to have a rather long, um, appendage from that height, wouldn't he?laugh ....But I get what you're saying (I think), is this part of their mating ritual?  No idea from me, but you got wonderful shots of such a variety yesterday at Penguin Is shoop, that's for sure.  Just wonderful!!
