Sometimes it's hard to get the full story with photos alone so I am adding in some words - since so many commentors are voicing their puzzlement. lol  We are following the Gill's path, he's walking down the beach.

He turns and looks back at us.

Then he passes a form of foreign sealife (which turned out to be a grapefruit skin).

He flies a little, and lands on a rock.

  3. These are elegant birds who get a bum rap. They are so tolerant of our trash and the other hungry dudes around them.

  17. The gull looks... almost... artificial's not the word I want, but definitely not what I'd expect him to look like up close. Remarkable textures in these photos!
