Default Gull Games

sometimes being a seagull is not so bad, I sometimes see them fly in low among the Swans and Screech thier Cry and fly off laughing at the slow swans.. like a game

I was kinda hoping that this time he'd leap-frog off the swan's butt for a little extra lift, he got real close, but didn't touch

everyone made a wide path for the strange animal on the kayak with the human slave paddling

Hi Vin - those seagulls are troublemaker .. I think they are playing games with the swans .. I think the kayakers have been down this river before .. excellent

Vin, good to see you back around the river. Hope that cold is past tense. Great action captures and all I can say is, "Gulls just want to have fun"

Haha great stuff Vin seagulls can be so much fun as your excellent captures show. It's just a case of timing and you get some really good pictures. I love the last one too, taking the dog for a ride, how good is that. Always something different down by the river. Great work buddy.

Dave.
