Terns (I think?)

Or just gulls? Or one of each, maybe?

There were dive bombing me today. I guess they had young pretty close by. At one point, I changed to my 10-22mm, and although they were pretty much filling the frame, they didn't come out very sharp.

black headed gull for the top one, bottom is either a common or arctic tern, cant say for sure from that pic.

Thanks Michael. Having just looked up the difference, and looking at some of my other shots, I think it's a common tern, as they have a black tipped beak.
