Gulls: final appearance

Most wildlife photography enthusiasts consider gulls too common to photograph. Not me...

Little Wattlebird and other random images

As we steadily progress towards the final post in this bloG, I'm trying to go through all my old photos and find any images from the last year that are worth posting.

Close-ups

Long time ago Mick of Sandy Straits and Beyond had pointed out in a comment how amazingly different and varied the colors of birds' eyes are. Then I thought I'd put together a post showing better this beautiful variety, but haven't actually done it. This post isn't exactly what my intention was, but some nice irises are visible on these photos and the level of detail is quite good. Each of these images deserved its own post. I'm just too lazy in this heat to press the 'publish' button more than once. Most of the pics are worth clicking too. They are quite sharp.

Low tide

Today the tide was very low and there was a lot of activity on the beach. Unfortunately, it was drizzling most of the time and I had to keep the camera safe under the jacket.

Just hovering

It may as well be a kite. I just can't see the string :)

Social life II

Some photos easily and with no hesitation qualify for the 'selected' label. I get one of these out of 1500 or 2000. That makes them quite special and me -- quite happy!

This time of the year

There is a lot going on in Seagull-land. It must be this very special time of the year when there is more to life than just finding food.

If Mum was a grumpy old Seagull I would squeak too :)

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
