A short photo series, as I encountered it.

A young gull waits for its parent. Parent arrives, gull follows behind and calls out for minutes on end. Juvenile gets more aggressive, tries for some food from a familiar source. The end.

Gulls do wean their young but may continue feeding even older juveniles if the begging continues.
