  1. Following the leader

    Following the leader

    From a practice session, trying to capture flying gulls. A bit overexposed, and darkening the image hasn't really "cured" that, but acceptable as a practice shot.

    Dropping in or taking off?

    Don't remember which it was. From the splash, this looks like a take-off, but I think he'd also just landed. Just a short visit?

  4. Close disharmony

    Close disharmony

    Any time somebody looked likely to feed the ducks, the gulls seemed to be the first to learn of it, even before the ducks. I think they had lookouts posted on the street lamps at the end of the park. Here the gulls are arguing about something, perhaps "Who was it said there would be duck...

  5. Keeping an eye on the kids

    Keeping an eye on the kids

    The last I think from Brechin. The other side of the fence was a children's playground and the kids were enjoying themselves on a trampoline. For all the world it looked like these two were watching them like a couple of mothers. I tried to move round to get the kids in shot too, but I'd have...

    We are each others' environment

    This month's challenge is to show birds in their (natural?) environment. But what does "natural" mean to a bird. Their environment - always shaped in part by human practices - is simply there to be made their own, as they in turn are natural parts of our environment. At our best, we...

    Baker's dozen

    Late at night July 3, as I sat editing the pictures from our walk earlier in day, my husband said there were dozens of gulls on the neighbor's lawn. He was right. And they seemed to be marching in rows, making a thorough search for worms. At least a score of them, but I couldn't manage to fit...

    Common Gulls (Sub-adult)

    AAP This was digiscoped up on my patch a few years ago. It looks like it was a very hot, sunny day. These two look too old to have been hatched there that summer.
