Duck mate I'm landing .....

[Bernzfotos]

Well another fine day today so went out to the coastline around Wellington.

Whilst sitting down having a coffee and a pie for lunch with my camera on the table, VR 70-200mm lense attached, I noticed this Seagull coming towards me and about to land. As you can see from the first foto he obviously warned the other seagull to duck. Quite a capture I think for only about 15 feet away. The Seagulls stop for handouts!!!



Then another landing




but this time a take off at the same time



and then a message 'I'm hungry' .........................
