Welcome to FM, Nice start with the gulls. A few suggestions if you don't mind.
#1. crop some off of the left side since it is not adding anything to the image. Crop off about two thirds of the background. Our eyes and brains don't seem to like out of focus in the front of an image as much as the background. Try to get a little more of the eyes. The low perspective makes for a really nice image. Try look at the image using your hand and fingers to make these crops and see if it makes sense.
#2 Nice action in this one but the tight fit into the frames takes away from the impact.
#3 Nice subject and pose would be better if you cropped off much of the right side again since it does not really add anything of interest and distracts from the subject.
#4 I like this one the best of your images, the tight crop again takes away from the image. The birds are centered in the frame and would be more powerful if they were more to the right side giving them room to move forward into the frame. I like the pose of the background gull since the eye is slightly turned. For birds try to get the head turned slightly and not facing straight out of the frame or straight at you.
#5 One of the first rules of photography is to keep you horizon level, also the pose is not interesting, just walking away from you.
All are well exposed and sharp.
Hope you don't mind the suggestions and take them as they are meant.
