Looking at this painting, you have given a wonderful feeling of airiness and space. Which is just what you want with a bird in flight, Smashing work.

Heuglin's gull or Siberian gull (Larus heuglini) is a seabird in the genus Larus. It is closely related to the lesser black-backed gull (Larus fuscus) and is often classified as a subspecies of it. It has also been included within the herring gull (Larus argentatus). Birds in the eastern part of Heuglin's gull's range are often paler grey above and are frequently considered to be a separate subspecies Larus heuglini taimyrensis (Taimyr gull). Another possibility is that they are a result of hybridization between Heuglin's gulls and Vega gulls. Heuglin's gulls breed in the tundra of northern Russia from the Kola Peninsula east to the Taymyr Peninsula. They are regularly reported from Finland and may breed there. They migrate south to winter in Southwest Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, East Asia, and East
