Not so extreme?


Look closer...






This Silver Gull is so tough he swims with limpets and oysters!

OUCH! Hhahhaaa actually, Aussie kids do the same in the rockpools. We're tough!

But it wasn't hurt, was it? Looks a bit as if the gull is having some problems...
Love the Terns - they always look so funny.
Cheers, Klaus

Aussies have to have their heads chopped off to admit it hurts Klaus ;) The Silver Gull was having the time of his life! The Crested Terns we egging the Gull on ... they all placed bets in numbers of juicy limpets to eat! The Gull won lunch of course :)

Only one bath - the other will have to wait their tern.

That's right Albrecht von Krappa! If you think it hurts underwater also... What are you doing under the Silver Gull!?!

Ces Adorio said...

Why would it hurt? It isn't like they are attacking him. He would probably crack them open and eat them? What a beautiful shiny white sheen on the feathers.

It's the Sooty Oystercatchers that crack them open and one was just cracking in this pool before the Silver Gull arrived Ces ;)

Ooo, I love the fourth one down with the water droplets! I have a seagull on my computer wallpaper right now. :) Those black swans are just gorgeous! Is that a band of white under their wings and on the tops of their tails? Gorgeous and regal!

Melissa, it looks refreshing but icy cold! Those are indeed white feathers on the Black Swan which are normally hiding. However we were on a Fluffed Royal Tour ;)

I accidentally clicked on one of the labels and got trasported to previous posts. I read some of the comments. What a riot. You could write a book with just your responses to the comments and some of the comments. I should do that more often to make myself laugh and be happy. Your blog is precious Anon.

Good KJ! I didn't actually know you were still in Provincetown. I thought you just visited for the weekend. That will give you plenty of time to photograph gulls KJ! This is a Silver Gull in a puddle of water. I haven't seen an all white one. Never seen one that burrows! Good luck ;)

What language is that LaughingWolf? CUTESY!?!

kj said...

anon, i'll be coming and going for the next few weeks. that gull is burrowing anon! and it's (kind of) all white!

Oh! I didn't know anyone could burrow into water, it must be heavy stuff! SHHHH... don't let the Silver Gull hear you KJ, they are very proud of their silver! :)
