The herring gulls are not quite so aggressive.<BR/><BR/>These are great shots though. Love the last one with the colour contrast of the morsel about to be pecked. <BR/><BR/>(In the seagulls' defence - as much as I dislike their aggressive ways, they would not be that aggressive if people did not feed them in the first place, or leave food on the ground where they can get it. They have come to <I>expect</I> food from humans so they now steal it. That is common round our coastline anyway.)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247084030899971480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-12411822515639377972008-12-22T01:27:00.000+11:002008-12-22T01:27:00.000+11:00I was reading about the speedboating Santas yester...I was reading about the speedboating Santas yesterday - did they scare away the Seagulls??i beatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898046178398533410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-15814333061478472342008-12-22T00:32:00.000+11:002008-12-22T00:32:00.000+11:00Nice shots...especially like the first one.Nice shots...especially like the first one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-36290599533691489992008-12-21T22:53:00.000+11:002008-12-21T22:53:00.000+11:00Wonderful pictures..Ive seen them during my visit ...Wonderful pictures..Ive seen them during my visit to Australia many years ago..Ive attempted a different interpretation of critters..hope you like it..Lakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131764134144215720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-40014679298530049052008-12-21T12:03:00.000+11:002008-12-21T12:03:00.000+11:00I am so familiar with these birds now living coast...I am so familiar with these birds now living coastal but as a former townie I seldom came across one.
