Birds

Forgot to say we had a fab experience with a seagull at lunch yesterday. We were parked in Costas at Ethiebeaton Park above Monifieth. And a huge seagull suddenly landed on the front bonnet of our car, rocking it as it did. It flapped about, staring inside to see if there might be any hope of food. Then flew off again, the car moving again as it did. Sadly neither of us had a camera ready at the right moment. We were awestruck 🙂

I imagine it feeling a little as if a pterodactyl had descended on the garden bird feeder.

There's something a otherworldly and beautiful about big white gulls.

Even when they're waddling along Swansea's main drinking thoroughfare in the morning between sweepers' vans and empty cans of lager, while giving me an evaluating look, I can't help but admire them.

Herring gull?
