Yes! Thanks, I just found it as well.
Unfortunately, I lost the non-cropped picture which allowed to see how the white-colored mushroom stands out in the dark-colored jungle where little light reach the ground.
The sun was up, the light was good and the swans were beautiful as always
Yes, it is cute, especially as it was looking at me
To me it looks more like a gull but it's impossible to say.
It's a bipalium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipalium) but the picture is not clear enough to know which one.
Was it as big as the yellow-legged gulls or smaller? The slender-billed gull doesn't seem to fit the profile. I would have said Larus canus or Larus fuscus. I'm a bit curious about its black eye, I never noticed black eyes on gulls before...
Thank you for your follow up. One of the match I got was from flickr and the same picture was used for this: http://mothbutt.wordpress.com/2010/07/17...
This is the only perfect match I found.
I updated the identification as suggested after I found a perfect match in google images (which is not a reference).
Thank you for the correct identification.
