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.
Next to a Raven/Crow - how the heck do you tell tham apart?
Just in case you have not noticed.....your gull turned black. :)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing about your gull turning black, LOL! Great shots Lisa! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat's that orangey thingy?
ReplyDeleteThese are elegant birds who get a bum rap. They are so tolerant of our trash and the other hungry dudes around them.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots....Happy WW:)
ReplyDeletegreat sequence . . .
ReplyDeleteTalk about a David Copperfield ending!
ReplyDeleteheh
ReplyDeletegreat photos
These are especially nice closeups of the seagull and crow. The first and last picture are my favs. Hope all is well. Good night~
ReplyDeleteThe black crow among the lovely gulls.... thorn amng the roses? :)
ReplyDeleteSeagulls make me think of holidays, when I stay with my friend a week at the English coast and they wake me up with their screems ! In August I will go there again ! Youpee !!
ReplyDeleteSeagulls, that's something we can never find here!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. That gull is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteperhaps you would like the job of standing on our raft shooing them away!!! you can take pictures all day long.
ReplyDeleteGreat bird shots, so crisp with great shallow depth of field:)
ReplyDeleteTell me that's an orange and not a bird poo . . .
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, very nice shots of a beautiful bird.
Is the last photo still a gull? It looks like a raven to me.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Excellent clear shots. It looks like a battle is about to ensue!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little fellows you have captured.
ReplyDeleteI read the comments and now I understand why you added the text! LOL! I don't know if that's a raven or a crow either!
ReplyDeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteSuper series!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, as usual!
ReplyDeleteI think that is a crow...don't ravens have purplish eyes? Great shots, BTW!
